First entering service in May 1931 as a massive leap forward in fighter performance, the small and nimble Hawker biplane found itself holding a vital defensive line as geopolitical instability gripped Europe. Originally striking in their polished, all-silver operational colors, No.43 Squadron's biplanes received an urgent, temporary coat of dark green and earth camouflage paint in 1938 to prepare for looming hostilities. While war was briefly averted, this specific scheme captures a critical and rare moment when the iconic interwar biplane donned the colors of combat camouflage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for curators of pre-WWII military history and classic British biplane design, this Aviation Archive Collector Series release serves as a definitive historical artifact. The 1:72 scale model is engineered with exceptional precision, capturing the fine fabric-on-frame texture lines across the wings and fuselage alongside delicate wing-strut rigging details. Key engineering highlights include a rotatable two-bladed wooden-style propeller, an enclosed cockpit housing a detailed pilot figure, and fixed landing gear with finely cast undercarriage supports. Complete with a custom presentation stand to elevate the aircraft in an elegant in-flight posture, this premium release provides an authoritative display profile for sophisticated aviation galleries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFact Sheet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tcv-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corgi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aviation Archive Collector Series\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel code:\u003c\/strong\u003e AA27302\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAircraft:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hawker Fury Mk I\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnit:\u003c\/strong\u003e RAF No.43 Squadron (\"Fighting Cocks\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical Event:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Munich Crisis\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e United Kingdom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate\/Period:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn 1938\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:72\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimited Edition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,500 pieces worldwide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diecast\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-standard 1938 emergency crisis camouflage livery, simulated wire wing rigging, realistic wooden-texture style propeller, custom display stand\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eModel Dimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tcv-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.5\" or 11.4 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWingspan:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\" or 12.7 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCondition\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Condition - Near mint (9\/10)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA couple of small circular marks are present on the underside of the bottom wings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBox condition - Excellent (8\/10)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall rip on the bottom edge of the cover.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePhotographed under studio lighting to highlight even the smallest imperfections.
