data-end=\"85\"\u003e The Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIb Trop was a tropicalised adaptation of Sydney Camm’s famous British fighter-bomber, developed for operations in harsh environmental conditions. Despite the “tropical” designation, these aircraft were not limited to desert and jungle theatres, and also saw service in extreme cold-weather environments such as the Soviet Arctic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"441\" data-end=\"812\"\u003eThe Mk.IIb, widely known as the “Hurribomber”, was developed around the Rolls-Royce Merlin XX engine with a two-stage supercharger and featured increased wing armament of 12 machine guns. While this improved firepower, the rifle-calibre armament was increasingly outclassed as the war progressed, leading many aircraft to be employed primarily in the fighter-bomber role.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"814\" data-end=\"1266\"\u003eAdapted for ground attack duties, Hurricane Mk.IIb and Mk.IIc aircraft were widely used across multiple theatres including North Africa, the Far East, and the Soviet Union. In these roles they carried out bombing, strafing, and close air support missions. The tropicalised “Trop” version added a dust filter for improved reliability in harsh climates, while some variants were also adapted for naval operations with arrester hooks for carrier landings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1268\" data-end=\"1559\"\u003eThis 1\/48 scale kit from Arma Hobby features finely engineered injection-moulded parts with excellent surface detail and precise fit typical of modern tooling.

Given the urgent need, the decision was made to embark Hurricanes, solid and proven machines. The first land-based \"Hurris” took off from the aircraft carrier HMS Glorious, which in the spring of 1940 transported No. 46 Squadron RAF to Norway, but at the time it was a one-off feat. Another attempt to navalise Hurricanes were the so-called CAM ships, i.e. merchant ships equipped with a catapult to launch a fighter in defence of an attacked convoy. After completing the task, the plane was supposed to return to shore or land on water and sink. These machines were designated Sea Hurricane Mk. Ia and entered action in the spring of 1941.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first true naval fighters were the planes designated Sea Hurricane Mk.Ib. They were equipped properly for carrier borne operations: an arrestor hook, catapult spools, a radio with \"Navy\" frequencies and instruments reading in knots. They only lacked folding wings. All 340 Mk Ib Sea Hurricanes were converted from used \"land\" Mk.I Hurricanes. They entered action in July 1941. These planes took part in all the most important Royal Navy operations in the Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Arctic and Mediterranean for over a year. Their greatest achievements occured during the escort of two very important and very different convoys: PQ-18 in the Arctic (17 kills), and Operation Pedestal to Malta (25 kills), in the summer and

However, the name \"Divine Wind\" was used only in the Naval Air Force (IJNAF) and is more popular in the Western world than in Japan. Similar formations of the Army Aviation (IJAAF) created a little later were called \"Shinfu\", and specific units received a number supplemented with the name \"Shimbu-tai\". The latter is to be understood as a “Special Attack Unit”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitially, the Ki-84 Hayate, which was then the Army's most modern fighter aircraft, was not intended to equip the Shimbu-tai. However, the low efficiency of attacks of older types (eg Ki-51 or Ki-27) forced a change in the approach of the Headquarters. The speed and manoeuvrability of the Hayate gave it a better chance of breaking through the cordon of American fighters and the wall of barrage ships' fire. Thus, the Hayate became one of the main participants in the fierce struggle known as the Battle of Okinawa. Several hundred machines of this type took part in it, used both for special attacks and as their escort by regular Sentai fighter units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarkings and colours included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKi-84 Ko Hayate - 57 Shimbu-tai, pilot: Tadashi Kono, Miyakonojo airfield, Kyushu, Japan, 1945\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKi-84 Ko Hayate - 58 Shimbu-tai, pilot: Lt.
