Fairey Battle MKI

Kit No #05831
1/48th scale
ModelThe Fairey Battle was a British single-engine light bomber built by the Fairey Aviation Company in the late 1930s for the Royal Air Force. It was powered by a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, which was used in modern British fighters. However, it was also weighed down due to its three-man crew. The colour schemes in this kit
The stickers in the box
Despite the fact that it was a vast improvement over the aircraft it replaced, it still had a limited range, lacked speed, and was vulnerable to anti-aircraft and fighter fire with its single defensive machine gun of.303. The Fairey Battle was the first RAF aircraft to win an aerial battle during the Second World War. However, by May of 1940 it had suffered heavy losses per mission of more than 50%. The Battle was withdrawn by the end 1940 and sent to overseas training units. The Battle, despite its pre-war promises, was one of the most disappointing RAF aircraft.
