About product

Fairey Battle Mk.I Bloodbath over France 1:72 – an injection-molded Special Hobby kit

A plastic kit of the British Fairey Battle Mk.I light bomber in 1:72 scale from Special Hobby, in the Bloodbath over France edition devoted to the heavy fighting over France and Belgium in the spring of 1940. The kit is injection molded, with an engraved surface and glazing for the long cockpit; the package offers decals for several RAF machines. For the exact number of parts the instructions in the box are what counts.

The real subject

The Fairey Battle was a British single-engine light bomber of the 1930s with a crew usually of three and a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. It was an all-metal low-wing monoplane with long cockpit glazing. Although it was modern when it appeared, by the start of the Second World War it was no match for fast fighters and heavy anti-aircraft defenses. During the Battle of France in 1940 the units armed with Battles suffered crushing losses attacking bridges and columns – hence the reference to a bloodbath over France.

Building and painting tips

Glue the parts with a thin plastic cement and sand the fuselage and wing joints. Finish the interior of the long cockpit before the fuselage is closed up and mask the glazing for clean framing. Lay down primer under the coat; spray the British brown and green camouflage above and the light undersides with an airbrush and add emphasis on the panels and restrained wear of a combat machine.

Who the model is for

  • For those interested in the RAF and the Battle of France of 1940.
  • For lovers of prewar and early war bombers.
  • For collectors of RAF aircraft in 1:72 scale.
  • Suitable for more advanced beginners and experienced modelers.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

A British single-engine light bomber of the 1930s with a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. By the start of the Second World War it was already obsolete and its units suffered heavy losses in the fighting over France in 1940.

Bloodbath over France refers to the crushing losses of Fairey Battle crews attacking bridges and columns during the Battle of France in the spring of 1940.

In 1:72 scale it is a manageable build even for more advanced beginners. We recommend finishing the interior of the long cockpit before the fuselage is closed up.
