Kotare Plastic Model Kit
Hurricane Mk.I (Early) (1/32)
This 1/32 scale kit from Kotare represents an early production version of the Hurricane Mk.I, one of the most important British fighter aircraft of the early Second World War. Developed using up-to-date reference material, the kit focuses on accurately capturing the features and configuration of early Hurricanes as they appeared before and during the early years of the conflict. As part of the 1/32 aircraft range, it offers a large-scale platform for detailed modelling.
The model reflects the distinctive design of the Hurricane, including its fabric-covered rear fuselage, metal forward structure, and straightforward wing layout. The early production features are carefully represented, allowing modellers to recreate the aircraft as it appeared during key stages of its service. The kit includes multiple marking options, providing the flexibility to depict different aircraft from both pre-war and early wartime periods.
Three marking schemes are included, covering aircraft from 1938 and 1940, including a Czech-operated aircraft serving with the RAF. These options allow for variation in finish and presentation, offering different historical contexts for the completed model. The scale allows for a high level of detail and provides a strong base for painting and finishing techniques.

The Hawker Hurricane played a crucial role in the early years of WWII, forming the backbone of RAF Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain. Although often overshadowed by the Spitfire, the Hurricane was responsible for a significant proportion of enemy aircraft destroyed during the campaign. Its robust construction and stable flying characteristics made it an effective and reliable fighter. Early production variants, such as those represented in this kit, highlight the aircraft’s development prior to and during the opening stages of the war. This model reflects that period, offering a detailed representation of a key aircraft in British aviation history.
