NO FAULTS 

The Corgi Aviation Archive 1/72 collection is renowned for its accuracy, quality diecast construction, and faithful historical representation—this Hawker Hurricane Mk.The model depicts the aircraft flown by Squadron Leader Douglas Bader of No.242 Squadron during the Battle of Britain. With its finely applied camouflage, RAF roundels, and detailed cockpit, it’s a fitting tribute to one of the RAF’s most inspirational fighter pilots.

The Hawker Hurricane was the true workhorse of the Battle of Britain, responsible for the majority of RAF victories during the summer of 1940. Douglas Bader, who lost both legs in a pre-war accident, returned to flying against all odds and became one of the RAF’s greatest aces and leaders. Under his command, No.242 Squadron — composed mainly of Canadian pilots — achieved outstanding success during the battle. This model honours both the legendary Hurricane and the determination of Bader and his men.
