Airfix Airfix Vickers Wellington MK II 1:72 WWI Military Aviation Plastic Model Kit A08021

Development of the Vickers Wellington was already underway when the European climate started to shift, stressed by the threat of war that loomed and continued to build. The designing of the Vickers Wellington started in 1932, and rolled off the production floor for its maiden flight in 1936. Featuring a geodetic airframe, the medium bomber soon overtook production quantities of other similar aircraft produced, becoming the most produced British medium bomber and continued to be manufactured during the entirety of World War II. By 1938, the Vickers Wellington MK II was upgraded with Rolls Royce engines among other details that allowed higher altitudes and speeds and had shifted to a night bomber and later in the war used as an anti-submarine aircraft.
