HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Hawker Hurricane Mk.I was the backbone of RAF Fighter Command at the outbreak of the Second World War, and No. 601 Squadron—known as the “Millionaires’ Squadron”—was among the units that flew it into the most critical air battles over Britain. Powered by the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine and armed with eight .303 Browning machine guns, the Hurricane combined rugged construction with stable gun platforms, making it exceptionally effective against enemy bombers. While the Supermarine Spitfire often captured public attention, it was the Hurricane that bore the brunt of combat during the early stages of the air war in Europe.
Pilot Officer William “Billy” Fiske, an American volunteer and Olympic gold medalist bobsledder, joined No. 601 Squadron as one of the first U.S. citizens to fly in defense of Britain. During the Battle of Britain, Fiske flew Hurricane Mk.I aircraft on intensive patrols and interception missions as the Luftwaffe launched sustained attacks on airfields, cities, and shipping. The Hurricanes of 601 Squadron frequently engaged German bomber formations escorted by fighters, breaking up raids before they could reach their targets. Fiske was wounded when his Hurricane was damaged during combat operations, and he later succumbed to his injuries, becoming widely regarded as the first American pilot to die in the Battle of Britain.
The Hurricane Mk.I in which Fiske flew represents the broader story of international volunteers who joined the RAF before the United States formally entered the war. Aircraft of No. 601 Squadron were heavily involved in the defense of southern England throughout the summer and autumn air battles, flying multiple sorties per day under exhausting conditions. These Hurricanes contributed significantly to blunting the Luftwaffe’s offensive and preserving Britain’s ability to continue the fight, marking the type as a decisive factor in one of history’s most important air campaigns.
This 1:72 scale model brings together the story of a legendary fighter, a heroic pilot, and the pivotal Battle of Britain, making it a meaningful and historically rich addition to any collection.

Great quality at a great price too!
Husband got this for his ‘05 Camry and says it looks and fits just like the original. He was happy that it simply slid in with no adjustments needed. It’s been a couple months now and no problems at all. Very satisfied with this item.

Electrically good. Fitment not so good.
This starter worked fine when installed. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating was fitment. the hole in the bell housing is slightly larger than the starter. The old starter, OEM, was a right fit. This puts all of the strain and torque of starting the engine on the two bolts that hold the starter in. I expect this to fail at some, hopefully, distant point in the car's future. In order to retorque the starter bolts, the battery and airbox have to be removed.
