BNIB AIRFIX A55208 Medium Starter Set – Hawker Typhoon Mk.Ib Kit

Designed initially to replace the Hawker Hurricane as the
complementary high-altitude fighter to the Supermarine Spitfire, the Typhoon
instead found its fame as a low-altitude ground-attack aircraft, spearheading
the airbourne assault through occupied Europe after D-Day.  Designed around the enormous 24-cylinder
Napier Sabre, the Typhoon has a tough gestation before maturing as a capable,
low-level fighter-bomber, devastating German armour in Normandy and beyond.

Airfix Starter Sets are ideal for beginners.  Medium Starter Sets are a little more
challenging to build than the Small Starter Set range, with more parts.  Each Medium Starter Set includes glue, two
brushes and six acrylic paints.
