Trumpeter 1/72 WELLINGTON Mk.X Scale Kit - Detailed Bomber Replica

The Vickers Wellington earned recognition for its geodetic construction and practical service in World War II. The twin-engined medium bomber is faithfully represented in the Trumpeter 1/72 WELLINGTON Mk.X kit, which provides clear moulded detail aimed at hobbyists and historical collectors.

Service History and Design Notes

Debuting in 1937, the Wellington played a central part in early bombing campaigns and demonstrated the advantages of its unique structure. The Mk.X variant used a light alloy fuselage improvement, and Wellingtons continued in various roles until around 1953.

What Builders Will Find Inside

This kit contains 214 plastic pieces on 11 sprues, delivering a finished model 188 mm long with a 229 mm wingspan. Optional position flaps allow for different display stances. While the kit does not include photo-etched or resin components, the injection-moulded parts provide a precise 1/72 representation and enjoyable assembly.

Collecting and Display Tips

A finished WELLINGTON Mk.X becomes a striking exhibit in a WWII collection or a study piece for those interested in period aircraft engineering. Careful painting and seam work will highlight the model's surface detail and scale accuracy.
