About product

Vickers Wellesley Mk.I (No. 45 Squadron) 1:72 (Valom)

A plastic kit of the British single-engine bomber in 1:72 scale from the Czech maker Valom. The boxing is focused on the markings of No. 45 Squadron and, besides the plastic parts, the package also contains photo-etched parts and a decal sheet. It is a short-run mold aimed at a faithful shape of the subject.

The real subject

The Wellesley was a British long-range bomber of the 1930s, built on the geodetic lattice structure designed by Barnes Wallis. It was marked by the great span of its slender wings and by exceptional range; machines of this type made their name with record long-distance flights and in combat they were used above all in East Africa and in the Middle East at the start of the Second World War.

Building and painting tips

With a short-run mold, clean the parts up first and test the fit. Glue the plastic with thin cement for plastic and the photo-etched parts with cyanoacrylate glue. Apply a primer before painting; spray the camouflaged upper surfaces and the light underside with an airbrush. Finish the cockpit and the interior before closing the fuselage.

Who the model is for

  • Modelers interested in British interwar and early wartime aviation
  • Collectors of unusual design solutions, such as a geodetic frame
  • More advanced builders with experience of short-run molds

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

FAQ

It was built on the geodetic lattice structure of Barnes Wallis, had a great span of slender wings and exceptional range, which earned it record long-distance flights.

Yes, photo-etched parts for the fine details are included along with the plastic parts and a decal sheet.

It is a short-run mold calling for cleanup and patience with the fit, so we recommend it rather to more advanced modelers.
