Hawker Sea Hurricane Mk. II C

Hawker Sea Hurricane Mk. II C Hawker Sea Hurricane Mk. II C

Die Hawker Sea Hurricane wurde entwickelt, um den dringend

benötigten Schutz gegen die Angriffe der deutschen Luftwaffe auf

Konvois im Nordatlantik zu bieten. Die ersten 50 Sea Hurricane Mk.Is

(umgebaut aus bewährten RAF Hurricanes) starteten von raketenge-

triebenen Katapulten, die auf dem Vorderdeck von Handelsschiffen

angebracht waren, sobald sich ein gegnerisches Flugzeug dem Konvoi

näherte. Nach dem Einsatz musste der Pilot entweder den nächstgele-

genen Flughafen an Land anfliegen oder seine Maschine vor dem

Konvoi wassern und auf Rettung warten. Einer “Hurricat” vom 804.

Naval Air Squadron gelang am 3. August 1941 das erste erfolgreiche

Abfangmanöver durch Abschuss einer Focke-Wulf Fw. 200 Condor. 35

Handelsschiffe wurden zu Katapultschiffen für Sea Hurricanes umge-

baut, wodurch ihre Ladekapazität nicht beeinträchtigt wurde.

Beabsichtigt war, jedem Konvoi zwei oder mehr Schiffe zuzuweisen.

Die konventionellere Sea Hurricane Mk.IB, ausgerüstet mit einem

Fanghaken, wurde zur gleichen Zeit entwickelt, um von den vielen

neuen, im Bau befindlichen kleinen Geleiträgern zu starten. Die Sea

Hurricane Mk.IB war mit acht 7,7-mm-Maschinengewehren bewaffnet,

die nach ihr in Dienst gestellte Mk.IC mit vier 20-mm-Kanonen in den

Tragflächen. Bei der Sea Hurricane Mk.IIC gesellte sich zur

Kanonenbewaffnung der stärkere Merlin XX Motor. Durch die

Einführung der mit Fanghaken ausgerüsteten Sea Hurricanes konnten

Konvois nach Nordafrika, Russland und in das Mittelmeer geschützt

werden. Gegen Ende 1943 wurden die meisten Sea Hurricanes durch

Seafires und andere Typen ersetzt. Das 824. Naval Air Squadron auf

der HMS Striker war das letzte Marinegeschwader, das mit Sea

Hurricanes im Einsatz war. Diese wurden im April 1944 durch

Grumman Wildcats ersetzt. Der 1.280 PS starke Rolls-Royce Merlin XX

Motor verlieh der Maschine eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 550 km/h

in 6.705 m Höhe. Die Reichweite betrug 740 km. Flügelspannweite:

12,19 m. Länge: 9,84 m.

The Hawker Sea Hurricane was developed to meet the urgent require-

ment to provide protection against Luftwaffe attacks on North

Atlantic convoys. The first 50 Sea Hurricane Mk.Is (converted from

well-used RAF Hurricanes) were to be launched by rocket assisted cat-

apults from the bow of merchant ships when an enemy aircraft

approached the convoy. The pilot was then required to land at the

nearest airfield or ditch his aircraft ahead of the convoy and await res-

cue. A “Hurricat” from No.804 Naval Air Squadron achieved the first

successful interception when a Focke-Wulf Fw. 200 Condor was

destroyed on 3 August 1941. 35 merchant ships were converted to

launch Sea Hurricanes whilst still retaining their cargo capacity. It was

intended that two or more ships would be allocated to each convoy.

The more conventional Sea Hurricane Mk.IB, fitted with an arrester

hook, was also developed at this time for operation from the many

new small escort-carriers being built. The Sea Hurricane Mk.IB was

armed with eight 0.303in machine guns and was followed into service

by the Mk.IC armed with four 20mm cannon in the wings. The Sea

Hurricane Mk.IIC mated the cannon armament with a more powerful

Merlin XX engine. The introduction of the “hooked” Sea Hurricanes

allowed protection to be provided to convoys to North Africa, Russia

and the Mediterranean. By the end of 1943, most Sea Hurricanes had

been replaced by Seafires and other types. No.824NAS aboard HMS

Striker was the last unit to operate Sea Hurricanes, re-equipping with

Grumman Wildcats in April 1944. The 1,280hp Rolls-Royce Merlin XX

engine gave a maximum speed of 550km/h (342mph) at 6,705m

(22,000ft). Range was 740km (460 miles). Wingspan: 12.19m (40ft 0in.)

Length: 9.84m (32ft 3in.)

Should I paint my Revell model before or after it is built? Verified
