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.

Thanks to installing a dust filter, the ‘trop‘ version was also created, intended for operations in difficult climates.

However, where the famous PR Spitfires were in short supply, Hurricanes were used successfully. This was particularly the case where the most intense and interesting operations were taking place: in the Mediterranean and the Far East.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSerial Hurricane Mk.IIb trop fighters were converted for reconnaissance duties in two main ways. In 1941, ‘real’ Hurricane PR.IIs were being developed at the Heliopolis base in Egypt - unarmed, equipped with a set of cameras, and in place of guns in the wings they had additional fuel tanks installed to increase range. The second variant were tactical reconnaissance aircraft, called ‘Tac-R’ - which differed from fighters only in having a photo camera and an additional radio to enable communication with ground troops. They were armed, but often some of the guns were removed to reduce the weight of the aircraft, loaded after all with additional photographic equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHawker Hurricane Mk.II is a development of the famous fighter designed by Sydney Camm, 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 performance. The new version designated Hurricane Mk.IIa, with unchanged armament, was first flown on June 11, 1940, and was soon followed by a variant with twelve 7.69 mm machine guns in the wings, designed 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‘, and for reconnaissance. Many of these were used operationally in the Middle and Far East.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arma Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51341709246731,"sku":"40012","price":46.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/arma-hobby-40012-hawker-hurricane-fr-pr-mk-iib-1160787068.jpg?v=1749036253"},{"product_id":"airfix-a05127a-1-48-hawker-hurricane-mk-i","title":"Hawker Hurricane Mk I","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hawker Hurricane was the RAFs most vital fighter in the early years of WWII.

Early production variants were fitted with fabric-covered wings and a fixed-pitch two-blade wooden propeller, but these were soon replaced by metal wings, three-blade variable-pitch propellers (such as de Havilland and Rotol types), and minor equipment updates, including an additional access panel on the starboard side of the fuselage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePower came from a Rolls-Royce Merlin II or III engine producing around 1,030–1,300 hp, giving the Hurricane a top speed of over 500 km\/h (310 mph).
