Build the Powerful Hawker Typhoon

The Hawker Typhoon was initially intended to replace the Hurricane as a high-performance interceptor. Although early development was troubled, the aircraft eventually found its strength as a formidable low-level fighter and ground-attack aircraft.

Powered by the huge Napier Sabre engine, the Typhoon combined impressive speed with heavy armament. Later aircraft equipped with underwing rockets became particularly effective against enemy vehicles and other ground targets during the Allied campaign across Europe.

The Airfix Hawker Typhoon Mk.IB captures the aircraft's muscular appearance in compact 1/72 scale, making it an excellent addition to a WWII RAF aircraft collection.
