The Hurricane Mk.I was a British single-seat fighter intensively used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II, especially in the Battle of Britain (1940). These aircraft played a key role in defending British skies, and were also used by the air forces of Commonwealth and Allied countries, with production running from 1937 to 1944. The Italeri 1:48 scale model faithfully reproduces the lines and details of this legendary machine, while the dedicated Eduard masks allow for neat and trouble-free painting of key components requiring precision – such as the clear cockpit canopies or tires.

The Eduard EX346 set makes work easier for modelers, greatly reducing the time required to prepare the model for painting and minimizing the risk of damaging or dirtying transparent parts. The masks are perfectly matched to the parts in the Italeri kit, which guarantees clean demarcation lines and a professional final effect. Use of this product is recommended for both intermediate and experienced modelers who value perfection and convenience. We rate the difficulty of using these masks at 2/5 – the product allows very good results even for less experienced users.

Eduard EX346 is an excellent choice for those who want to get the maximum realism from the Hurricane Mk.I 1/48 Italeri model, without risking imperfections during painting.
