Vickers Wellesley L2644 "P" no 14 Bomber Squadron. R.A.F.
Matchbox 1:72 (PK-123)

2013#24

Carrying on with my bomber theme this year here is my attempt at the classic old kit. It went together reasonably well with two exceptions.

Firstly the join between the engine compartment and the fuselage required some work.

Secondly something that i would not normally have a problem with was the U/C doors. The fit here was really bad and if the kit had come with U/C legs I would have used them and had it standing on its wheels. But it didn't so for the first for me in decades it is displayed on a stand.

Although bought on e bay supposedly complete, as well as the U/C legs being missing, so were the I/P and aerials so my spares box was raided where necessary.

Another great model, John. Those kits really turn into masterpieces in your hands.

Good job, buddy.

Cheers,
Radek
