Description

The Hawker Hurricane Mk.I was one of the RAF’s key fighters during the Battle of Britain, relied upon to meet the Luftwaffe at close range across southern England.

Condition

Model Condition - Excellent (8/10)

  • Prior to photographing, the model was factory sealed but we noticed a defect which is noted below.
  • During storage, a small area of brown paint lifted from the metal just in front of the cockpit, leaving a small patch of bare metal visible.
  • For transparency, the factory seal on the outer plastic tray was carefully opened so the area could be photographed clearly.
  • The stand pack and antenna pack remain sealed. Aside from the paint lift noted above, the model would otherwise be mint.

 


Box condition - Excellent (8/10) 

  • For its age, the box remains in excellent condition with minimal wear.

 

 


Photographed under studio lighting to highlight even the smallest imperfections. Buy with confidence, what you see is exactly what you get.

Any imperfections are shown in the images and description. Refer to the grading tab for more details. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Grading

Grading Criteria

Our grading is based mainly on the physical condition of the model itself, including paintwork, attached parts, repairs, visible wear and overall presentation. Box condition and missing separate accessories are noted separately where applicable.


Mint (10/10)
- As new, with no visible flaws to the model itself.


Near Mint (9/10)
- Very light signs of handling, storage or display only.


Excellent (8/10)
- Light wear or a few tiny marks, but still displays very well.


Very Good (7/10)
- Noticeable wear, small chips or rubs, but still presentable as a display piece.


Good (6/10)
- Obvious overall wear, visible marks or paint loss; better suited as a display or filler piece.


Fair (5/10)
- Heavy wear, larger areas of paint loss, repairs or clearly visible flaws.


Spares / Repairs (4/10 or below)
- Significant damage, missing attached parts, broken components or best suited for restoration/spares.


If a separate accessory, stand, leaflet, certificate or optional part is missing, this will be mentioned in the listing notes. The model may still receive a high grade if the model itself remains in strong condition.
