Airfix 1/72 Fairey Rotodyne - Bagged plastic model kit

1/72 Airfix Fairey Rotodyne - Bagged

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: No Box

Bagged kit - no box. The box is shown for reference only. Very nicely detailed and molded kit. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. The Rotodyne first flew in 1957. The purpose was to create the first true vertical take-off airliner that could operate from an area no larger than two tennis courts with a full load. The Rotodyne flew at up to 191 MPH with a range of 450 miles and a payload of 48 passengers or 5 tons of freight. Despite the excellent performance and a larger design in the works, the RAF never placed an order and BEA never placed a firm order. The project was discontinued in 1962.
