JWM Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) Hi, Vickers Wellesley - very strange airpalne in my feelings. It has short service in first line. Model is from original Matchbox kit, I made in about 10 years ago. The rear canopy is movable - during making photos it felt in down position... The k2673 served in 47th Squadron RAF, Chartum and Belaiga (Ethiopia) 1940-41. Please enjoy, comments welcome Cheers Jerzy-Wojtek Edited August 24, 2017 by JWM Switch to Flickr 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
