1/72 Contrail Vickers Armstrong Warwick Accessory Pack With Matchbox PK-402 Wellington
Vacuform Model Kit
Designed for Air Ministry specification B.1/35 for a two-engined heavy bomber, the Warwick was to replace the Wellington and used the same sturdy geodetic 'basket weave' construction. However, the prototype orders were canceled in 1936 to concentrate on four-engine bombers. Vickers completed two of the prototypes anyway. RAF Coastal Command liked what it saw and eventually 712 Warwicks were produced and used for transports, air-sea rescue, meteorological recon and anti-submarine work. One saw use as a BOAC Transport and the aircraft was used by the Air Forces of Poland and South Africa. Unstarted and complete. The Contrail Warwick is still factory sealed. It features well molded vac parts with numerous injection molded parts (gear struts, wheels, engines, etc). The Matchbox Wellington (required as a base kit for the Contrail accessory pack) is bagged, not boxed. It has not been started and is complete except NOTE: missing one part, a small gear door. With decals and instructions.
