Arma Hobby 1/72 Hurricane Mk II B/C Expert Set:
$29.21
The Hurricane Mk.II was powered by the improved Merlin XX engine with a two-speed supercharger. The new engine was longer than the earlier Merlin and so the Hurricane gained a 4.5 in \"plug\" in front of the cockpit, which made the aircraft slightly more stable due to the slight forward shift in centre of gravity. Initially called the Hurricane IIa Series 2, the Hurricane Mk.IIb was essentially a Mk.II fitted with racks allowing it to carry two 250 lb or two 500 lb bombs. This lowered the top speed of the Hurricane to 301 mph (484 km/h), but by this point mixed sweeps of Hurricanes carrying bombs, protected by a screen of fighter Hurricanes were not uncommon. |
