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.

Beginners can tackle this kit, but it helps to have basic modelling tools and some experience with sanding and filling to get clean seams.
The kit includes basic painting guidance and markings; builders often consult reference photos or scale colour guides for a more authentic finish.
Common upgrades include resin cockpit details, metal landing gear replacements and high-quality decal sets to enhance accuracy and appearance.
