BRAND NEW Airfix 1/72 Hawker Typhoon Ib medium starter set. Designed initially to replace the Hawker Hurricane as the complementary high-altitude fighter to the Supermarine Spitfire, the Typhoon instead found its fame as a low-altitude ground-attack aircraft, spearheading the airbourne assault through occupied Europe after D-Day. Designed around the enormous 24-cylinder Napier Sabre, the Typhoon has a tough gestation before maturing as a capable, low-level fighter-bomber, devastating German armour in Normandy and beyond. Hawker Typhoon Ib, number 266 Squadron, 2nd Tactical Air Force, RAF, Holland and Germany, april/may 1944. Airfix starter sets are ideal for beginners. Medium starter sets are a little more challenging to build than the small starter set range, with more parts. Each medium starter set includes glue, two brushes and six acrylic paints.
