INTERMEDIATE BUILD
In his inaugural build for AMW, Kev Baxter adds extra detail to Airfix’s re-worked 1/72 Wellington Mk.VIII
WELLINGTON Mk.VIII
Additional parts for the Mk.VIII variant included new nose glazing (top) and a bombardier’s window (bottom) with cut-out for an ASV Yagi antenna.
Due to a lack of kit decals, Eduard’s pre-painted PE items were used instead, although much of this detail would be hidden once the fuselage halves were mated.
Vickers’ Wellington may be best known as a bomber, but it was also operated with considerable success by RAF Coastal Command in the fight against German U-boats.
