1/72 PK-605 Matchbox Handley Page HP-58 Heyford Mk.I /Mk.II / Mk.II

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good

From 1980 and probably the first issue. Has parts and decals for all three variants from 102(B) RAF Sq. 1938, No. 99 Sq 1934 and No. 7(B) Sq. 1935. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. The Heyford was the last big biplane bomber to serve with the RAF and equipped 11 First-Line Squadrons at the time. The prototype first few in 1930 and had many novel features such as retractable ventral turret and the wing attached to the underside of the top wing for excellent visibility. It was soon nicknamed 'Express Bomber' due to the ability to carry a large bomb load, fly at high speeds and be rapidly re-armed, serviced and repaired.
