Vickers Wellesley Mk.I is a British bomber developed in the late 1930s. It was the first RAF aircraft to use Barnes Wallis's revolutionary geodetic construction, which provided durability at a relatively low weight. The Wellesley Mk.I played a significant role in campaigns in the Middle East and North Africa, including during clashes with Italian and German air forces. It gained the most fame for its record-breaking long-distance flights and operational effectiveness in the harsh African climate during World War II—from 1938 to 1942.

The Valom kit, true to the historical original, allows you to build the aircraft in authentic African front camouflage. The set includes detailed cockpit parts, a realistically rendered fuselage and wing panels, as well as a complete decal set. Category: plastic model kit.
