The Hawker Hurricane mk1 arguably the most important fighter aircraft ever. Certainly without the support offered by the Hurricanes in 1940 the Supermarine Spitfires of the RAF would have been overwhelmed in the Battle of Britain and the Axis powers could have launched an invasion of England. This early service example still wears a fixed pitch twin bladed propeller and doesn't have any of the additional weapons or armour that the Hurricanes eventually wore as the war progressed. Unfortunately this model is about 30% too powerful so if anyone has a 3X propeller engine floating about can I suggest rotating the bottom of the engine bay and uploading with the right engine in place. Credit to @Planesnthings for the wings and tail which I've basically borrowed. I've removed the jet propulsion, added more power, added more fuel, stretched the fuselage, rebuilt the landing gear and tidied the nose area.
