Corgi Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIC RAF No.258 Squadron BD701/ZT-M Ceylon 1943 Scale 1/72 AA32006

This superb Corgi Aviation Archive model recreates Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIC BD701, coded ZT-M, as operated by RAF No.258 Squadron from Racecourse, Ceylon—present-day Sri Lanka—in 1943.

The Hurricane Mk.IIC was armed with four powerful 20mm Hispano cannon and proved highly effective in fighter and ground-attack operations. No.258 Squadron deployed to the Far East during the Second World War, helping to defend Ceylon and support Allied operations across the region.

Produced in 1/72 scale, this limited-edition die-cast model features authentic RAF South East Asia markings, detailed panel lines, a clear cockpit canopy, pilot figure, rubber tyres and removable undercarriage. It can be displayed with its landing gear fitted or in flight using the supplied display stand.

A highly collectable representation of one of Britain’s most famous wartime fighters in a distinctive Far East colour scheme.
