Fairey Battle Mk.I ‘Bloodbath over France’ 1/72

Description

The Special Hobby SPE72153 – Fairey Battle Mk.I “Bloodbath over France” is a 1/72 scale plastic model kit depicting the British Fairey Battle light bomber as flown by the Royal Air Force during the early phases of World War II. Deployed with the Air Component of the British Expeditionary Force in 1939-1940, this aircraft suffered heavy losses against enemy fighters and anti-aircraft defences during the campaign in France.

The kit provides a faithful representation of the aircraft with detailed surfaces and multiple historically accurate marking options.

Kit contents

• Three sprues of injection-molded plastic parts for the airframe and structural components.
• One sprue of clear plastic for the canopy and windows.
• A decal sheet offering four RAF aircraft markings from May 1940.
• Illustrated assembly instructions. (Glue, paints and modelling tools are not included.)

Once built and painted, this Fairey Battle model makes a compelling addition to any collection of early World War II aircraft, particularly those focusing on the Battle of France or Allied aviation in 1940.
