Corgi 1/72 RAF Royal Air Force Hawker Hart Mk1 J9941 (AA39604)

Description

Up for sale is an as new 1/72 RAF Royal Air Force Hawker Hart Mk1 J9941 (AA39604) by Corgi.

First flown in 1928 to an Air Ministry specification and designed by Sydney Camm, the Hawker Hart was part of a family of biplane bombers and fighters that had outstanding performance for the period. Able to outperform the RAF’s then current fighters, the aircraft immediately proved to be very popular with its crews. Over 400 were produced and they served with the RAF throughout the 1930s, both at home and all across the British Empire. Never issued for service in the RAF, this Hart was instead retained by Hawker, operating as a test and development machine. Post war it was entered into the King’s Cup Air Race, before being flown at a number of air shows and appearing in exhibitions throughout the 1960s and 70s. In 1972 it was transferred to the RAF Museum where it is today, suspended from the ceiling in the Milestones of Flight building.

This model aircraft is made from die-cast metal and includes extensive detailing. It is similar in quality to Hobby Master, Gemini Jets, JC Wings, Witty Wings, Century Wings, NG Models and Aviation72.

Includes display stand.
