Vickers Wellesley - Matchbox


Recommended Posts

I present my next model.
Vickers Wellesley from the Polish Aeronautical Technical School for Minors in Heliopolis (Egypt). At that time, it was already a flightless, serving only to learn cadets, and got the number 4723M, which was generally painted "traditionally" M4723. The plane was repainted from the night bomber (apparently it was L2657), the lower black surfaces were repainted in yellow. Kit is the old Matchbox with Aeroclub Bristol Pegasus, propeller from spare and vacu canopy from Falcon, painted with Xctrarylics paints.

Thats a lovely model and an `interesting' rendition of this particular Wellesley. 

 

As per the pics which I provided you with via my link to your WIP,....... my understanding is that it had white undersides/sides with Temperate Sea Scheme uppers having been last used by 47 Sqn in an anti submarine role and that the airframe was provided to the Polish maintainance school engine less,.....but was later fitted with a new engine and nacelles from stores.  Each to their own and who can prove either of us wrong eh?

 

Cheers
