Matches all the basic historical types of US-made escort carriers of World War II, used massively, also by Great Britain, in the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian Ocean, Mediterranean and in Arctic convoys. Included is a link to a free download of files to self-printing on a 3D printer accessory parts: arrestor cable mounts, different versions of wheel chocks, a bomb carriage. Once painted and possibly accompanied by pilot and crew figures, it makes an attractive and easy-to-make diorama.\u003cbr\u003e\nAttention! Aeroplane kit not included!\u003cbr\u003e\nEscort aircraft carriers\u003cbr\u003e\n      Escort aircraft carriers, although smaller and less heavily armed than “real” fleet aircraft carriers, played no less a decisive role in World War II at sea. They helped win the Battle of the Atlantic against German u-boats, while in the Pacific they provided massive air support for the Marines' landing operations to subsequent islands, both fighter cover and assault operations against ground targets.\u003cbr\u003e\n      The vast majority of escort carriers, both on British and US orders, were built in US shipyards. Mass and rapid production was made possible by basing the design on existing cargo ship designs and even on finished hulls. By the end of the war, their number - hard to believe - had reached about 130, in five basic types: Long Island, Bogue, Casablanca, Sangamon and Commencement Bay, as well as their transferred Royal Navy counterparts, named the Ruler and Attacker types.\u003cbr\u003e\nFighters and torpedo-bombers\u003cbr\u003e\n      On escort carriers, due to their small size, composite air squadrons consisting of fighters and bomber\/reconnaissance\/torpedo aircraft were usually stationed. The Americans primarily used Wildcats and Avengers, while the British used Sea Hurricanes or Martlets\/Wildcats (less often Seafires) in teams with Swordfish or Tarpon\/Avengers. In addition, in the Pacific, escort carriers brought new aircraft from US factories to the front, both naval (e.g., Hellcats, Corsairs), as a supplement to carrier-based squadrons or Marines, and fully land-based aircraft such as the P-51 Mustang, P-38 Lightning, P-39 Airacobra, P-40 and many others. In the final period of the war, British ships also carried out similar tasks, it even happened that they transported a bomber squadron equipped with twin-engine Mosquitoes to Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\nEquipment and camouflage\u003cbr\u003e\n      The typical escort carrier deck of all major types looked the same: it was covered with solid planks, separated by distinctive metal strips with hooks for anchoring aircraft. The planks were usually stained in camouflage colours, depending on the period and the country using the ship. Intensive use and weathering meant that the colours of the deck were very varied, giving excellent opportunity for the modeller wishing to demonstrate his skills in weathering. Also universal was the equipment provided in the kit in the form of free files for self-printing on a 3D printer: arrestor cable mounts, British and American versions of wheel chocks, bomb carriage.\u003cbr\u003e\n      The product is available in the form of 3D files in STL format.

They were mass-produced in the USA from the beginning of the Second World War and used in all theatres of war wherever the American air force appeared: in the Pacific, Europe, Africa and even Greenland!\u003cbr\u003e\n      They were first used during the famous Carolina Manoeuvres in 1941, on which, before Pearl Harbor, the Americans tested the readiness of their armed forces for war. The US Air Corps commander, General ‘Hap’ Arnold, described the PSP on that ocasion as “the year’s greatest achievement in aviation warfare,”. This is also where the colloquial name of the invention, Marston Mat, came from, as it was near the town of Marston that the manoeuvres were held.\u003cbr\u003e\n      Made from corrosion-resistant manganese steel, the individual mat weighed around 60 pounds. Holes allowed drainage and reduced the weight. Each piece was ringed with hooks to connect the mats into a permanent surface. A set of mats to build a complete runway could be carried within a cargo hold of one Liberty ship. Experienced builders were able to assemble it within 72 hours of unloading.\u003cbr\u003e\nUniversal model base\u003cbr\u003e\n      The plastic 1\/72nd PSP Airfield base for a scale model is simple, but thanks to its accuracy and fine detail it allows even the less experienced modeller to make an impressive diorama. The crisp surface texture facilitates the use of various modelling techniques. To each base we add a link to free files for self-printing on a 3D printer with universal airfield equipment: fire extinguisher, toolboxes, fuel barrels, British ‘flimsy’ fuel cans, wheel chocks and wooden trestle. It is left to the modeller's creativity to make further additions to the small diorama, decide for yourself, will it be figures, vehicles, animals?\u003cbr\u003e\n      The product is available in the form of 3D files in STL format.

It has been created three years after the death of Zygmunt Puławski, designer of the gull-winged PZL fighters family. The „c” version has been designed by Wsiewołod Jakimiuk as a development of the first production version, the PZL P.11a. Modifications included fuselage front (truss construction instead of stressed-skin), raising of the pilot's seat and lowering the engine, which improved visibility from the cockpit. Power unit was stronger, 600 hp variant of the British Bristol Mercury version, license produced in Warsaw. Armament was strengthened with two additional machine guns in wings and racks for four bombs. Jakimiuk introduced also completely new rounded fin shape and longer streamlined fairing behind pilot's head.\u003cbr\u003e\nFirst P.11c from the ordered batch of 150 airframes reached the units in 1935. Air force re-armament process was never fully finished due to creation of the new squadrons. As a result, almost all the fighter wings went to the war with PZL P.11 in both „a” and „c” versions and three squadrons had to use obsolete PZL P.7a. \u003cbr\u003e\nP.11c in \"Kresy\" Squadrons\u003cbr\u003e\nLast units equipped with P.11c were the new squadrons: 152. EM from the 5th Aviation Regiment (Wilno) and  161. EM from the 6th Aviation Regiment (Lwów). They were formed to defend Polish Eastern Borderlands (Kresy) from active Soviet infiltration. In summer 1938 there were big exercises held in Volhynia to prepare against possible Red Army attack. The squadrons also sent temporary detachments to Border Protection Corps (K.O.P.) outpost in Sarny in Volhynia. In 1939 Campaign 152. EM was attached to the Army Modlin and 161. EM (and 162. EM with P.7a) to the Army Łodź.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1939 the „elevens” fought the Germans since 1st September morning till the evacuation forced by the Soviet aggression on 17th September. Despite being already quite obsolete and inferior in speed and armament even to the German bombers, thanks to extraordinary maneuverability and pilot's skills P.11 fighters managed to effectively oppose the enemy, sometimes even to win in dogfights against fighters. While the losses have been high, 35 airworthy PZL P.11c were evacuated to Romania. These planes have been confiscated by Romanians and joined their PZL P.11band  f and P.24 fleet. Since 22nd June of 1941 the „elevens” marked with yellow crosses took part in the war against Soviet Union, remaining in frontline units till the September 1943!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arma Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46657485373696,"sku":"ARM70017","price":22.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/6453\/5552\/files\/arma-hobby-172-arma-hobby-pzl-p11c-kresy-model-kit-8942972.jpg?v=1760793680"},{"product_id":"arma-hobby-1-72-arma-hobby-pzl-p-7a-expert-set","title":"Arma Hobby 1\/72 ARMA Hobby PZL P.7a Expert Set","description":"\u003cp\u003e1\/72 ARMA Hobby PZL P.7a Expert Set\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arma Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46657487470848,"sku":"ARM70006","price":23.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/6453\/5552\/files\/arma-hobby-172-arma-hobby-pzl-p7a-expert-set-5804884.jpg?v=1760793565"},{"product_id":"arma-hobby-1-72-arma-hobby-fokker-e-v-expert-set","title":"Arma Hobby 1\/72 ARMA Hobby Fokker E.V Expert Set","description":"\u003cp\u003e1\/72 ARMA Hobby Fokker E.V Expert Set\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arma Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46657500971264,"sku":"ARM70012","price":24.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/6453\/5552\/files\/arma-hobby-172-arma-hobby-fokker-ev-expert-set-5663487.jpg?v=1760793434"},{"product_id":"arma-hobby-1-72-arma-hobby-ts-11-iskra-bis-df-expert-set","title":"Arma Hobby 1\/72 ARMA Hobby TS-11 Iskra bis DF Expert Set","description":"\u003cp\u003e1\/72 ARMA Hobby TS-11 Iskra bis DF Expert Set\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arma Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46657512964352,"sku":"ARM70010","price":27.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/6453\/5552\/files\/arma-hobby-172-arma-hobby-ts-11-iskra-bis-df-expert-set-7920447.jpg?v=1760793233"},{"product_id":"arma-hobby-1-72-arma-hobby-yak-1b-allied-fighter-limited-edition","title":"Arma Hobby 1\/72 ARMA Hobby Yak-1b Allied Fighter Limited Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eFighter aeroplane model kit Yakovlev Yak-1b.

The most important features were closed cockpit, rectractable undercarriage and big firepower – 8 7.7mm Browning machine guns. Its heart were famous Rolls Royce Merlin II and III engines.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe first Hurricanes started replacing older biplane fighters (i.e Hawker Fury, Gloster Gauntlet and Gladiator) in December 1936.

When the Navy built new carriers, also more potent fighters were introduced to service (F6F and F4U). But it was missing a lightweight fighter for service on escort carriers. Grumman has designed XF4F-8 prototype with light construction, armament reduced to 4 MGs and more powerful engine P\u0026amp;W R-1830-86.  Because of increased torque of an engine, the aeroplane got a taller vertical tail for flight stability. The new Wildcat performance was significantly better than its predecessor, but only on low altitudes due to lack of two-stage supercharger. It was by design, FM-2s  tasks were performed mostly at a low level: close air support, ASW patrol and CAP. New Wildcat’s improved performance was a surprise to enemy pilots. It could fight A6M5 Zero and Bf-109G on equal terms. The last series of the aeroplane had six HVAR unguided missiles mounted underwings.\u003cbr\u003e\nNew Wildcat production was made in General Motors plants under new designation FM-2. It started service in late 1943 and deserved well in Battle of Atlantic and Island Hopping Campaign on Pacific. Total of 4437 FM-2s was built, 65% of all Wildcat versions. 370 of them served with the Royal Navy as the Wildcat VI.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arma Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46657552777472,"sku":"ARM70033","price":34.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/6453\/5552\/files\/arma-hobby-172-arma-hobby-fm-2-wildcat-model-kit-1594745.jpg?v=1760792536"},{"product_id":"arma-hobby-1-72-arma-f4f-wildcat-operation-torch-plastic-model-kit","title":"Arma Hobby 1\/72 Arma F4F Wildcat Operation Torch Plastic Model Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eAssembly plastic model kit of an aeroplane\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlastic parts\u003cbr\u003e\nCockpit canopy and wheel masks\u003cbr\u003e\nDecals with three marking variants\u003cbr\u003e\nFree digital file - download code\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe set includes three historical markings options:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eF4F-4 Wildcat, “3512\/29-GF-10”, squadron VGF-29, crash-landed on the USS Santee during Operation Torch, November 1942\u003cbr\u003e\nF4F-4 Wildcat, “8-26”, squadron VGF-27, Guadalcanal, April 1943\u003cbr\u003e\nMartlet II, “AJ148 \/ Ø-7A”, No. 888 FAA Squadron from carrier HMS Formidable, Oran, Algeria, December 1942\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e      The product is available in the form of 3D files in STL format.

It was called the Martlet II by the British. Known for its ruggedness and good adaptation to operating from aircraft carriers, the aircraft took part in many important naval battles in 1942-43. The F4F-4 version, equipped with folding wings, made it possible to increase the number of aircraft aboard escort carriers, which was important in operations in the Pacific, Atlantic and Mediterranean.\u003cbr\u003e\n      During Operation Torch in November 1942, F4F-4 Wildcats stationed on the aircraft carrier USS Ranger and three escort carriers (USS Suwanee, Sangamon and Santee), as well as British Martlets from the carriers HMS Formidable and Victorious, supported the landing of Allied forces in North Africa. The planes wore distinctive yellow borders around the American stars on the fuselage and wings. American stars also marked British aircraft at the time. The idea was to identify them quickly against the Vichy government's French planes, but also to neutralize the resentment of the French against the British.\u003cbr\u003e\n      After this operation, American escort carriers with Wildcats moved on to new assignments in the Pacific, supporting operations in the Solomon Islands, including the battles for Guadalcanal. The yellow markings from Operation Torch were then painted over with a camouflage colour, which can be seen in photos as a fresh border around the stars. British aircraft after Operation Torch were quickly repainted with standard British markings of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arma Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46657554972928,"sku":"ARM70065","price":34.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/6453\/5552\/files\/arma-hobby-172-arma-f4f-wildcat-operation-torch-plastic-model-kit-4494910.jpg?v=1760792536"},{"product_id":"arma-hobby-1-72-arma-hobby-fm-2-wildcat-expert-set","title":"Arma Hobby 1\/72 ARMA Hobby FM-2 Wildcat Expert Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eFM-2 Wildcat ™ Expert Set, Arma Hobby 1\/72\u003cbr\u003e\nPlastic model kit of the FM-2 Wildcat™ aircraft, new tools, expert set with accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eplastic parts\u003cbr\u003e\nphoto etched\u003cbr\u003e\ndecal with 6+2 marking options (5x USN 1x FAA + 2 bonus)\u003cbr\u003e\nmasks for canopy and wheels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMarkings options\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFM-2 Wildcat, BuNo unknown\/B6, Composite Squadron VC-10, CVE-73 USS Gambier Bay, pilot Ens.

Designed at the end of June 1942 aeroplane was based on the XF4F-8 prototype. From the previous versions, the new fighter mounted a new, more powerful Wright R-1820 engine and had a higher rudder. At that time, the parent Grumman plant focused on the production of F6F Hellcat fighter planes and TBF Avenger torpedo-bombers. The production of the new Wildcat was transferred to the Eastern Aircraft Division plants of the General Motors (GM) group; hence the new name of the aircraft is General Motors FM-2.\u003cbr\u003e\nNew, more powerful Wildcat\u003cbr\u003e\nModifications of the Wildcat FM-2 allowed having a capable, light-weight fighter for escort carriers. The use of a new, more powerful engine with a lighter structure (and armament reduced to 4 MGs) resulted with better combat properties than its predecessor. The FM-2 aircraft could successfully fight the A6M5 Zero fighters and the Bf-109G. The vertical stabilizer was enlarged to compensate for higher propeller torque.\u003cbr\u003e\nAn additional advantage was the increased armour of the pilot's cockpit, as well as the adaptation of the last series of aircraft to carry non-guided missiles HVAR (High-Velocity Aircraft Rockets). This modification has significantly increased the aircraft's effectiveness in attacking ground targets and submarines.\u003cbr\u003e\n The aircraft remained in production until May 1945. A total of 4407 FM-2 fighters were produced, which accounted for 70% of the total number of Wildcat fighters produced in all varieties. 340 aeroplanes were handed over to Great Britain, where they joined Fleet Air Arm under the name Wildcat Mk.VI.\u003cbr\u003e\nFM-2 combat operations\u003cbr\u003e\nThe FM-2 aircraft were part of the air groups stationed on US Navy escort aircraft carriers (CVE). They performed tasks specific to fighter planes, such as defending fleet and landing operations against air attacks (including Kamikaze), they also successfully attacked ground targets and shipping. At the same time, in the Atlantic, in cooperation with TBF Avenger torpedo-bombers, they successfully fought German submarines.\u003cbr\u003e\n The most famous episode of World War II, in which FM-2 fighter aircraft took part, was fought on October 25, 1944.

Bell designers equipped Airacobra with a front wheel, an engine in the centre of gravity of the airframe and a solid 37 mm cannon. The engine was originally equipped with a turbo-supercharger, which provided the prototype flown in the spring of 1939 with excellent performance at high altitudes. However, US aviation officials preferred less-complex propulsion, fit to operate at a lower altitude. The implementation of Airacobra into mass production and combat units coincided with the rapidly changing circumstances related to the outbreak of war in Europe, and then on the Eastern and Pacific fronts. With the advent of more effective aircraft types, more than half of the 9,558 produced Cobras were sent under Lend-Lease to the Soviet Union, where the aircraft performed excellently: battles were fought at the low altitude for which the Airacobra was best suited. Of the top 10 Soviet aces, half flew Airacobras.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe export version of the Airacobra was created before the US entered the war, on French and British orders. It was distinguished by being armed with a 20 mm cannon instead of a 37 mm one and by twelve exhaust tubes on each side of the engine. In the RAF, the plane was named Airacobra I. Due to the lack of a supercharger, it was too weak to fight the Luftwaffe, so the British quickly withdrew it from service.\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the US government requisitioned many of the machines produced for the RAF, retaining their unusual equipment and even British camouflage and serial numbers. The planes were named P-400 and were urgently sent to fight in the South Pacific. Also, some of the fighters already delivered to Britain were taken over by the USAAF and used in combat in North Africa. Later, many P-400s went to the USSR.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arma Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46657572143360,"sku":"ARM70057","price":40.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/6453\/5552\/files\/arma-hobby-172-arma-hobby-p-400-airacobra-7117954.jpg?v=1760792085"},{"product_id":"arma-hobby-1-72-arma-hobby-f-6c-mustang","title":"Arma Hobby 1\/72 Arma Hobby F-6C Mustang","description":"\u003cp\u003e70068 F-6C Mustang™\u003cbr\u003e\n1\/72 scale plastic model kit of the F-6C Mustang photo-reconnaissance aeroplane.\u003cbr\u003e\nKit includes parts needed to build a 1\/72 scale model of the F-6C Mustang fighter\/photo-reconnaissance aeroplane:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eplastic parts\u003cbr\u003e\ndecal with 4 marking options (2 USAAF and 1 French)\u003cbr\u003e\nself-adhesive kabuki-paper painting masks for canopy and wheels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMarking Options:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eF-6C-10-NT Mustang, 44-10889\/R7-N, GR II.33 Savoie, French Air Forces, April-May 1945.\u003cbr\u003e\nF-6C-1-NA Mustang, 43-12400\/ZM-O, pilot: Cpt.

The Navy was then introducing older Mk I machines, „navalised” as Sea Hurricane Ib. They had weaker engines and 8 machine guns. They lacked power, and the bulk of naval equipment already took away their agility. The cannons were too heavy to be installed. However, the queue for the more powerful Hurricane IIc was long, they were used in the Middle and Far East and sent to the USSR. Only the dramatic course of Operation Pedestal – escort of the Malta convoy in August 1942 - finally convinced the command that the cannon-armed Hurricanes were necessary on aircraft carriers.\u003cbr\u003e\nThey were first used in combat in Operation Torch - landing in North Africa, where Sea Hurricane IIb, adapted to the IIc standard by installing wings with cannons, were embarked on aircraft carriers. The production Sea Hurricane IIc was equipped with a Navy radio and IFF and the arrestor hook. Catapult spools were not used, so the flaps were not shortened. The wings were not foldable. During service, undercarriage covers were trimmed to prevent them from catching on the arresting cables. Underwing fuel tanks greatly increased the range. Rockets were sometimes used in the fight against U-boats.\u003cbr\u003e\nSea Hurricane IIc operated from escort aircraft carriers, as fighters, and as part of anti-submarine units.

Given the urgent need, the decision was made to embark Hurricanes, solid and proven machines. The first land-based \"Hurris” took off from the aircraft carrier HMS Glorious, which in the spring of 1940 transported No. 46 Squadron RAF to Norway, but at the time it was a one-off feat. Another attempt to navalise Hurricanes were the so-called CAM ships, i.e. merchant ships equipped with a catapult to launch a fighter in defence of an attacked convoy. After completing the task, the plane was supposed to return to shore or land on water and sink. These machines were designated Sea Hurricane Mk. Ia and entered action in the spring of 1941.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe first true naval fighters were the planes designated Sea Hurricane Mk.Ib. They were equipped properly for carrier borne operations: an arrestor hook, catapult spools, a radio with \"Navy\" frequencies and instruments reading in knots. They only lacked folding wings.

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.\u003cbr\u003e\nAt 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nOver 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":46657612579072,"sku":"ARM40007","price":68.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/6453\/5552\/files\/arma-hobby-148-arma-hobby-hurricane-mk-iib-1169793.jpg?v=1760791404"},{"product_id":"arma-hobby-1-48-arma-hobby-hurricane-mk-iic-1-48","title":"Arma Hobby 1\/48 ARMA Hobby Hurricane Mk IIc 1\/48","description":"\u003cp\u003eHurricane Mk IIc quarter scale kit.

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.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nA 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","brand":"Arma Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46657612808448,"sku":"ARM40004","price":68.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/6453\/5552\/files\/arma-hobby-148-arma-hobby-hurricane-mk-iic-148-5196508.jpg?v=1760791404"},{"product_id":"arma-hobby-1-48-arma-hobby-hurricane-mk-iic-trop","title":"Arma Hobby 1\/48 ARMA Hobby Hurricane Mk IIc Trop","description":"\u003cp\u003eHurricane Mk II c trop in 1\/48 scale.\u003cbr\u003e\nHurricane Mk IIc quarter scale kit.

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.\u003cbr\u003e\n      Hawker 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.
