Details

The Fairey Battle was ordered by the British Air Ministry to replace the Hawker Hart biplanes.

It was one of the first modern low-wing aircraft to enter service with the RAF that began receiving the Battle in 1937.

The Battle was elegant and pleasant to fly, but it was underpowered.

One Merlin engine alone was simply lacking power for such a large aircraft.

This was clear even before the start of World War II. But Battles were assigned to more than 40 RAF squadrons.

10 of them were moved to France as part of the AASF and were used against the German attack in 1940.

The superiority of the Bf 109E and the high vulnerability of the Battles to anti-aircraft fire took a bloody toll.

The Battles were withdrawn from the front line. However, they became an important element of the Commonwealth training system.

They were used for training in many roles, in Great Britain, Canada, Australia and Africa until the end of the war.

Three sprues of plastic parts are joined with a sprue of clear parts and decals.

The decal sheet offers four RAF aircraft that were lost in Western Europe in May 1940 with the interesting and colourful history of their crews.
