Hawker Typhoon Mk.1b (Car Door)
[A19003]

The description below is taken from the Airfix catalogue this kit was first seen in. There is also extra information underneath the main catalogues description including the changes to the name of this kit in the catalogues.

Initially intended as a replacement for the hughly successful Hawker Hurriane, the early Typhoon fighters were beset with development problems and although highly effective at lower altitudes, it was not considered suitable for the role of intercepter. When adapted for ground attack missions, the Typhoon proved to be unbeatable and took a heavy toll of German armor following the D-Day Landings.
