Product description

Reissue,

The Vickers Wellington is one of the symbols of the bombing offensive against Germany. After heavy losses in daytime raids at the beginning of the war, Wellingtons switched to night raids. They kept flying in this role for the entire first half of the war. Then they were transferred to Coastal Command, where they served as anti-submarine aircraft. They formed the armament of British RAF squadrons, but foreign squadrons, Czechoslovak, Polish, New Zealand and Canadian, also received them.
The kit contains six sprues of gray plastic parts, one with clear parts, resin cast exhausts and a sheet of decals. These offer markings for two machines of Polish squadrons, one of them in anti-submarine scheme. The other machines flew in RAF night scheme. In addition to the Polish one, named Elzunia (Lissie), the decals contain the markings for two Wellingtons of RAF squadrons. One of them, with a large emblem under the cockpit, flew in Africa. The second, purchased with the money of the native king Nana Sir Ofori Atta I, KBE, ruler of the Akyem Abuakwa Kingdom in the British colony of the Gold Coast (now Ghana), operated from Britain. The last machine from the offer is one of the most successful Wellingtons of No.311 (Czechoslovak) Sqn. RAF
