Arma Hobby 1/48 Hurricane Mk.IIb Trop Plastic Model Kit

Hurricane in 1/48 scale is a kit that allows you to build one of three Hurricane Mk IIBs adapted to fly and fight in extreme climates. Although this version is officially called “Trop” – from “tropical” – it is adapted to all kinds of difficult conditions, including the Arctic.  From the Western Desert “Hurribomber” – presented on a beautiful boxart by Piotr Forkasiewicz – through a veteran of the fights against the Japanese “Zeros” in defence of the naval base in Ceylon, to a fighter operating in the Far North – in the Russian Arctic!

The kit includes some of the sprues common with our Hurricane IIC, which has been collecting enthusiastic reviews on forums, modelling magazines and social media since its premiere in June 2023. A completely new thing is the type-B wing, armed with 12 machine guns. When designing it, we used the experience from working on the C-type, and it turned out even finer!
