REF:AA36501  Scale 1.72  Wingspan 175mm  New Release  New Tooling  Limited Edition

A new and long awaited release from Corgi this beautiful replica Hawker Typhoon is intricately detailed and features accurately reproduced markings and colour scheme.

Towards the end of May 1943, three Hawker Typhoons were sent for operational flight trials in the Middle East. 219 Group RAF, who were responsible for finding a lodger unit for these service trials decided finally upon 451 Sqn RAAF. The Typhoon would have been an exciting follow-on to the Hawker Hurricane IIc then operated by the squadron. 451 Sqn at LG.106 near Idku under command of Sqn Ldr J Paine, having been recently withdrawn from frontline operations, would provide personnel for the tests.
