Italeri 1/48 Hurricane MK.I - Accurate Hawker Hurricane Replica

This Italeri 1/48 Hurricane MK.I kit gives Canadian modellers a chance to build a faithful Hawker Hurricane in 1/48 scale. The kit focuses on the aircraft's rugged lines and wartime silhouette, offering parts that capture the engineering and look of the original fighter. It is well suited to hobbyists who value historical accuracy and well-matched components.

Why the Hurricane Matters

The Hurricane MK.I played a central role in early air campaigns and this model reflects key visual features like the fuselage profile and wing shape. Italeri's tooling reproduces the plane's characteristic appearance so builders can present a convincing period model on their shelf.

Assembly Notes for Modellers

Intended for modellers with some experience, the kit requires careful trimming, test-fitting and painting to reach its full potential. Parts are moulded in quality plastic and fit together with standard modelling techniques; glue and paints are needed to complete the build.

Finished Model Presentation

When finished, the Hurricane MK.I makes a solid display piece beside other WWII fighters. Its scale detail and authentic stance give it strong shelf appeal for collectors and display-focused builders alike.
