Vickers Wellesley by Murph's Models

[Butelczynski]

Brand new from Aaron and freshly completed test build.

Nearly forgotten pre war British bomber,maker of few records (in 2020 still holder of at least one afaik).Definitely a veteran of early stages of WW2 in Africa.It was replaced by much newer planes as soon as they became available.

There was only one other bomber like this made elsewhere-it was Soviet DB-1 bomber,a development of ANT-25 record breaker and an inspiration for many other bombers of that era.

Click on picture for much larger version.


Two things to watch for:engine is very tight fitting under cowling,maybe too tight but that might just be my method of construction.Second one are bomb pods-they are not as easy as they look to build.Other than that along with He-70 it's one of the most striking models of Aaron I build to date.

Model on pictures is full size.One more version will be build,maybe more

I didn't even know Murph was working on this one. Historic airplane. Most of its operational combat service was in East Africa, I think.

Nice work, as usual, on this model, Karol.
