Purpose and model history

The model for which the masks are intended represents the British Hawker Hurricane Mk.I fighter aircraft, used by the Royal Air Force (United Kingdom) during the early years of World War II. This aircraft played a key role during the Battle of Britain in 1940–1941, where it formed the backbone of the British fighter force. The Hurricane Mk.I was used on all major fronts of the conflict, as well as by the air forces of Canada, the USSR, and several other allies. 1:48 scale models are extremely popular among modelers due to the compromise between detail and size.
