Presented as a 1:72 scale plastic kit, this model depicts the Vickers Wellington GR.MK XIV maritime patrol variant from Trumpeter's aircraft offerings.
The GR.MK XIV was adapted for anti-submarine duties, featuring a chin radome to house ASV radar and often used in conjunction with a Leigh Light for night attacks. Several airframes had their nose turret removed, with some crews painting a turret outline to mask the change. The type used Bristol Hercules powerplants and served from coastal bases in the latter part of World War II.
This kit renders the maritime GR.MK XIV profile including the chin radome and comprises 205 plastic parts on 10 sprues. The completed model is approximately 188 mm long with a 229 mm wingspan. Two decal marking options are provided, and the product ships in a 38 x 24 x 6 cm box.
This detailed Wellington kit suits modellers seeking an authentic late-war coastal patrol subject with multiple finishing choices.
