TRP02808 1:48 Trumpeter Vickers Wellington Mk 1C British WWII Bomber

The Vickers Wellington was armed with twin .330 machine guns in the nose and tail turrets. It also had 2 manually-operated .303 guns in the beam positions and could carry a 4,500 lb bomb load. Slow speed, limited ceiling, & a small bomb load soon made the Wellington obsolete, although one significant design advantage was the lattice-work fuselage construction. This made the Wellington extremely tough, and it often survived battle damage which would have destroyed other aircraft. Kit consists of 644 parts plus photoetch and film parts. Markings are for Nr 75 Sqn RAF Norfolk 1941 and Nr. 40 Sqn RAF Malta 1941. Completed kit measures over 15" long with a wingspan of over 21".
