Airfix - Armstrong Whitworth Whitley Mk.VII - 1:72 (A09009)
Perhaps not the most famous RAF aircraft of WWII, the
Whitley was one of three British medium bombers in service at the outbreak
of the Second World War and although it was withdrawn from front line
bombing duties following the introduction of heavier, four-engined bombers,
it was to see service right through to the end of the war.
Certainly
displaying design characteristics of aeroplanes from a previous era, many
enthusiasts would probably describe the Whitley as being an ungainly,
somewhat ugly aircraft, but it certainly is a case of beauty being in the
eye of the beholder. The new Airfix kit is a magnificent scale
representation of this important RAF aircraft and seems certain to bring the
Whitley to the attention of many more enthusiasts.
