Trumpeter 1/72 British Wellington Mk. III Bomber Scaled Plastic Model Kit

The Vickers Wellington was a twin-engine, medium bomber designed in the mid-1930s at Brooklands in Weybridge, by Vickers-Armstrongs' Chief Designer, R. K. Pierson. It was widely used in the first two years of World War II, before being replaced as a bomber by much larger four-engine designs like the Avro Lancaster. The first main production variant was the Mk IC. The next significant variant was the Mk III, which features the 1,375 hp (1,205 kW) Bristol Hercules III or XI engine and a four-gun tail turret with two-gun. A total of 1,519 Mk III aircraft were built and became the mainstays of Bomber Command through 1941.
