While the Hurricane is often celebrated for its role in the Battle of Britain, Gleed's aircraft took on a specialized and crucial role as a nightfighter. Modified for night operations, this Hurricane variant was equipped with radar and other enhancements to intercept and engage enemy bombers under the cover of darkness.

Introducing this 1:72 scale model – a tribute to the iconic aircraft that served on the front lines, defending against enemy bombers during the challenging nighttime conditions of World War II. This meticulously detailed replica captures the essence of Gleed's specialized Hurricane variant, allowing collectors and aviation enthusiasts to appreciate the historical significance of this nightfighter. Own a piece of wartime history and showcase the bravery and adaptability of the Hurricane in the hands of skilled pilots like Squadron Leader Gleed.
