[About Hawker Hurricane Mk.1A]


Wikipedia
The Hawker Hurricane was a single-engine, single-seat fighter used by the Royal Air Force in World War II.
In the early 1930s, the Royal Air Force still had only biplane fighters. Hawker, under the leadership of engineer Sir Sidney Camm, set out to develop a monoplane fighter powered by a Rolls-Royce PV12 engine (later to become the Merlin engine). The Air Ministry also approved this design plan as specification F.36/34 and approved the creation of a prototype.
The completed prototype made its first flight on November 6, 1935, and was named Hurricane. The Hurricane was a monoplane fighter with retractable legs, but its fuselage was not of monocoque construction, but a steel tube framework covered with aluminum alloy, which was a preconventional structure. However, it could be easily manufactured at production sites that were not yet ready to produce airplanes with a monocoque structure.
In the Battle of Britain, which began in 1940, it defended the British skies against the invasion of the German Luftwaffe along with the Supermarine Spitfire. Its structure also made it a highly survivable and versatile aircraft, and many derivatives were produced, including attack aircraft and fighter-bombers.
The Mk.1A was an early production model, equipped with a 1030 hp Merlin II engine and armed with eight 7.7mm machine guns.

[About the work]
The paint scheme of the aircraft was modeled on the "GZ-L" P2921, the aircraft flown by Captain P.M. Brothers, an ace pilot in the Royal Air Force.
The cockpit is roughly reproduced.
I have not verified this because I do not have Simple Planes VR. Sorry.
