Its most significant feature was the revolutionary geodetic construction method developed by Barnes Wallis, giving the fuselage incredible strength despite its light weight. This inherent toughness allowed numerous Wellingtons to bring their crews home despite suffering significant battle damage during the early years of WWII.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 1\/72 scale kit from Airfix is a detailed replica of this iconic British bomber. The model accurately captures the sleek lines of the Wellington and features surface detail representing the unique geodetic structure beneath the fabric skin. The kit includes detailed gun turrets, a full bomb load, and offers two different marking options: an RAF No 9 Squadron aircraft from 1939 and a captured Mk.IC in Luftwaffe markings from 1941.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kit accurately captures the sleek monoplane design of the Wellington\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eSurface detail realistically represents the underlying geodetic lattice structure\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo marking options are included: RAF No 9 Squadron (1939) and a captured Luftwaffe aircraft (1941)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDetailed nose, tail, and dorsal gun turrets are included\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bomb bay can be modelled open or closed, with a full bomb load provided\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cockpit interior is detailed with crew positions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eLanding gear can be modelled in either the up or down position\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenuine Airfix Product\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale: 1\/72\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength: 273.5mm (10.77\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWingspan: 364mm (14.33\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeight: 73.8mm (2.91\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePieces: 141\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecal Schemes: 2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkill Level: Intermediate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncluded Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Model Kit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Decal Sheet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Instruction Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRequired Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlastic Safe Paint\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eModelling Glue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Tweezers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Scissors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Modelling Knives\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Modelling Files\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AIRFIX","offers":[{"title":"Hobbyco","offer_id":40428073517257,"sku":"10033375","price":74.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hobbies Direct","offer_id":40426939547849,"sku":"10033375","price":90.87,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/9803\/5810\/files\/b95d3d0762df4eaa94fdb88d534302b3.webp?v=1764953939","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.com.au\/products\/airfix-1-72-vickers-wellington-mk-ia-c-bomber-scaled-plastic-model-kit","provider":"JB Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
