As part of a lend-lease agreement between the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, a contingent of Hurricanes, including the Mk.IIB variants, was dispatched to the Soviet Arctic region to bolster Soviet air defenses. In September 1941, 151 Wing, composed of No. 81 and No. 134 Squadrons, was deployed to Vaenga airfield near Murmansk, Russia, to provide fighter cover for Arctic convoys and to train Soviet pilots on operating the Hurricane.The Mk.IIB variant of the Hurricane was particularly suited for this mission due to its enhanced armament of twelve .303 Browning machine guns and improved capabilities for ground attack roles. The Hurricane’s robust construction and ease of maintenance made it ideal for the harsh conditions of the Soviet front. Upon arrival in the Soviet Union, No. 134 Squadron quickly engaged in combat operations alongside the Soviet Air Force against the Luftwaffe and Finnish Air Force, who were contesting control of the skies over the Arctic. The Hurricane Mk.IIBs played a pivotal role in these engagements, demonstrating their versatility by both intercepting enemy bombers and performing ground attack missions against German supply lines and infrastructure.The presence of No. 134 Squadron and its Hurricane Mk.IIBs at Vaenga was not just a morale boost for the Soviet Union but also a symbol of Allied cooperation against the Axis powers. The squadron's pilots trained Soviet aviators on the Hurricane, after which many aircraft were transferred to Soviet squadrons, forming the foundation for a significant part of the Soviet air defense. By October 1941, after a month of intense operations and training, No. 134 Squadron returned to Britain, but the impact of their efforts continued through the Soviet use of Hurricanes throughout the war. The mission underscored the critical importance of international collaboration and the adaptability of the Hurricane in diverse combat environments.With intricate detailing that highlights its distinctive features and markings, this 1:72 scale model serves as a tribute to the daring pilots and their mission to support their Soviet allies during one of the most challenging periods of World War II. A perfect addition to any collection, this replica represents a pivotal moment of cooperation and courage in aviation history.PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS:We gladly accept paypal.Tracking info is free upon request.SHIPPING INFO:We do combine shipping cost for two or more items purchased.
