The Hawker Typhoon was probably one of the most underrated aircraft of WWII. The Germans had a different opinion, especially those in tanks caught in the Falaise gap!! The Typhoon destroyed most of the German armour in one fell swoop and contributed immensely to shortening the war and saving allied lives. Without tanks the Germans could not counter-attack.
The Black Horse Typhoon 1B is modelled on the only surviving example held in the RAF Museum in Hendon near London. She is totally built from CNC cut balsa and ply parts with additional GRP items like that huge cowl plus plastic mouldings. She is then covered in printed vinyl in authentic colours.
Designed to compete with the already popular Cub the Taylorcraft has remained largely unchanged since 1936. Factory built to Black Horse's high standards and factory covered in Oracover. Many scale details, such as the opening cabin doors, functioning tail and wing struts add to the character of this remarkable model. The large cowl almost completely encloses a typical petrol engine silencer.
