Trumpeter 01628 1/72 WELLINGTON Mk.X Detailed Bomber Kit  [TP01628]

Trumpeter 1/72 WELLINGTON Mk.X Scale Model - A Faithful WWII Reconstruction

The Vickers Wellington is celebrated for its geodetic airframe and role in early wartime operations. This twin-engined medium bomber made a strong contribution to RAF efforts, and the Trumpeter 1/72 WELLINGTON Mk.X kit reflects that engineering legacy with careful moulded detail for hobbyists and history enthusiasts.

Origins and Wartime Role

Introduced in 1937, the Wellington became a mainstay of early bombing operations and demonstrated the tactical value of medium bombers. The Mk.X variant adopted a light alloy fuselage which improved performance and versatility, and Wellingtons remained in varied service until about 1953.

Kit Build Overview and Parts

This Trumpeter 1/72 kit contains 214 plastic parts across 11 sprues, producing a model 188 mm long with a 229 mm wingspan. Model makers will find optional position flaps among the features, and while there are no photo-etched or resin inclusions, the injection-moulded parts deliver crisp surface detail and a rewarding assembly experience.

Presentation and Collector Appeal

Finished, the WELLINGTON Mk.X makes a fine display piece that complements WWII collections and instructional displays. Its authentic proportions and surface detail make the model useful both for shelf presentation and for reference when studying period aircraft construction.
