Airfix Vickers Wellington Mk.II (A08021)

As Britain looked to strike back at the start of WWII, the Vickers Wellington was arguably their most important aircraft and they needed to ensure a constant supply of new machines. In an attempt to introduce some engine option flexibility and to provide the Wellington with greater power, around 400 Mk.II Wellington™s were modified to take Rolls Royce Merlin X engines, a development which gave this famous bomber a very different appearance.
