The Hawker Typhoon Mk.IB, known for its vital close-support missions in World War II, is faithfully replicated in Italeri's 1/48 scale kit. The model emphasises the Typhoon's sturdy silhouette and handling traits that made it effective at low altitude.
Equipped historically with four 20 mm Hispano cannons and powered by the Napier Sabre engine, the Typhoon could reach around 660 km/h and served as a potent fighter-bomber. Italeri's moulding highlights cockpit fittings and fine panel work for a rewarding build sequence.
