About product

Westland Wyvern S.4 early configuration 1:48 (Trumpeter)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the British carrier-borne strike aircraft Westland Wyvern S.4 in its early configuration, in 1:48 scale from Trumpeter. It is a sizeable model with a generous part count and fine engraved detail. The box contains plastic parts, clear canopy parts, a film instrument panel and decals. The early configuration differs from the later one in the older shape of the cockpit canopy.

The real subject

The Westland Wyvern was a British carrier-borne strike aircraft and one of the last propeller-driven combat machines. It was an exceptionally large and powerful single-seat aircraft powered by a turboprop engine with a pair of contra-rotating propellers, which gave it a characteristically menacing look. Wyverns served with British naval aviation and saw action during the Suez operation in 1956, among other places.

Building and painting tips

Given the number of parts, work in subassemblies and with thin cement for plastic. Finish the cockpit with its film instrument panel before closing the fuselage. Pay particular attention to assembling and balancing the pair of contra-rotating propellers. Apply primer before varnishing and lay the colors on with an airbrush; on naval schemes, restrained weathering and highlighted panel lines work well.

Who the model is for

  • More experienced modelers who will appreciate a sizeable, finely broken-down model
  • Collectors of British carrier aviation in 1:48 scale
  • Fans of the last propeller-driven combat aircraft
  • Anyone interested in unusual machines with contra-rotating propellers

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The early configuration of the Wyvern S.4 has the older shape of the cockpit canopy. The rest of the type's structure remains essentially the same as the later version.

It was a British carrier-borne strike aircraft with a turboprop engine and a pair of contra-rotating propellers, one of the last propeller-driven combat machines.

Because of its size, the number of parts and the assembly of the contra-rotating propellers we would rather recommend it to more experienced modelers.
