Following the Battle of Britain, the hurricane's days as a front line fighter drew to a close but it found a new lease of life as a night fighter, reconnaissance platform and ground attack plane in a number of different variations for the rest of the war. The most impressive and successful of these was the mounting of 40mm machine cannons to turn the aircraft into a 'tank buster', similar to the German Ju87G. This was the Hurricane MkIID. The Corgi "Aviation Archive" presents highly-detailed, ready-made diecast models of military and civilian aircraft. The vast Aviation Archive range has become the standard by which all other diecast airplane ranges are judged. Each Corgi model is based on a specific aircraft from an important historical or modern era of flight, and has been authentically detailed from original documents and archival library material. Famous airplanes and aviators from both military and commercial airline aviation are all honored. Corgi "Aviation Archive" diecast airplanes feature: - Diecast metal construction with some plastic components.
- Realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.
- Pad printed markings and placards that won't fade or peel like decals.
- Optional extended/retracted landing gear with rotating wheels.
