Sydney Camm's design team set itself to improve the plane’s performance and armament effectiveness. On June 11, 1940, the prototype of the Mk II version was flown, equipped with a Rolls-Royce Merlin XX engine with a two-stage compressor. With this engine, the Hurricane reached 342 mph (550 km\/h). The first production Hurricane Mk IIA went into action in September 1940.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second stage of modernisation was to improve firepower by increasing the number of machine guns to twelve, resulting in the appearance of the Mk IIB version. At the same time, work was carried out on adapting the wing to the installation of 20mm Hispano-Suiza HS.404 cannons. Cannon-armed version, marked Mk IIC, appeared in units (242, 3 and 257 Squadrons RAF) in March 1941 and was produced without major changes until July 1944. A total of 4,711 Mk IIC machines were produced, serving on almost all fronts during the Second World War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe aircraft, designed as an interceptor, was adapted over time to the role of an intruder, a night fighter (a version equipped with radar was also created), a carrier-based fighter, an attack aircraft and a light bomber. He lasted the longest in the first-line units in the latter role. The Mk IIC version also became the starting point for the Mk IID anti-tank version, equipped with two 40mm Vickers S cannons and the Mk IV - a specialised assault version that could carry bombs or rockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA tropicalised version was used outside the European theatre of operations, equipped with a distinctive dust filter. The pilots of the Polish Air Force met the Hurricane Mk IIC as early as in the autumn of 1941 during exchange postings in the No. 87 Squadron. In 1943, single examples were sent to the No. 318 Fighter-Reconnaissance Squadron, and in April 1944, the entire Polish No. 309 Squadron was equipped with this type and operated from airfields in Scotland on patrol duty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduct safety information\u003cbr\u003e\nManufacturer information\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arma Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51341706592523,"sku":"40004","price":43.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/arma-hobby-40004-hawker-hurricane-mk-iic-1160787074.jpg?v=1749036368"},{"product_id":"arma-hobby-40005-1-48-hawker-hurricane-mk-iic-trop","title":"Hawker Hurricane Mk IIc (trop)","description":"\u003cp\u003eHurricane Mk II c trop in 1\/48 scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHurricane Mk IIc quarter scale kit.

It was created by installing a more powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin XX engine equipped with a two-stage supercharger in a standard airframe. This solution significantly improved the aircraft's performance. The new version designated Hurricane Mk.IIa, with unchanged armament, was first flown on June 11, 1940, and in August of that year, the first units were put into service with RAF squadrons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt that time, the Hawker company was researching improving armament. The thick wing allowed the use of cannons and machine guns in various configurations. Initially, a variant with 12 7.69 mm machine guns in the wings was introduced, under the designation Hurricane Mk IIb. Unfortunately, the small calibre of the weapon did not significantly change the effectiveness of fire, especially against armoured targets. Therefore, these machines were later widely used mainly for bombing under the name ‘Hurribomber‘. When the bombs were used, initially one gun was removed above each the bomb rack. Later, bomb racks were designed with a chute for empty casings, which made it possible to retain the full armament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver time, it turned out that the plane loaded with additional weapons, despite a more powerful engine, no longer met the requirements for modern fighters. Together with the cannon-armed Hurricane Mk IIc, these aircraft were used to attack ground targets with gunfire and bombing, among others in Operation ‘Jubilee‘ – Dieppe landing. Thanks to installing a tropical filter, the ‘Trop‘ version was also created, intended for operations in hot climates. Mk IIb and c aircraft equipped in this way took effective part in combat in Africa and the Far East. A naval version with a hook for landing on aircraft carriers was also created.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arma Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51341707641099,"sku":"40007","price":46.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/arma-hobby-40007-hawker-hurricane-mk-iib-1160787072.jpg?v=1749036362"},{"product_id":"arma-hobby-40008-1-48-hawker-hurricane-mk-iib-trop","title":"Hawker Hurricane Mk IIb (trop)","description":"\u003cp\u003e40008 Hurricane Mk IIb trop 1\/48\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHurricane Mk IIb trop - 1\/48 scale plastic kit\u003cbr\u003e\nThe kit includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003ePlastic parts\u003cbr\u003e\n    Decals (3 marking variants)\u003cbr\u003e\n    Canopy and wheel masks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMarking options:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eHurricane Mk IIb trop „Hurribomber”, HL795\/V, No. 274 Squadron RAF, Sidi Haneish (Egypt) and Sidi-Bu Amud (Libya), November 1942\u003cbr\u003e\n    Hurricane Mk IIb trop BG967\/A, No. 261 Squadron RAF, China Bay airfield, Triconmalee, Ceylon 1942\u003cbr\u003e\n    Hurricane Mk IIb trop Z4017\/FU-56.
