About product

Bristol Type 130 Bombay 1:72

A kit of the British twin-engine high-wing Bristol Bombay in 1:72 scale from a Czech manufacturer. Besides injection-molded plastic the package also holds resin and photo-etched parts and clear cabin parts with decals. The combination of materials raises the level of detail, but it also puts higher demands on the build.

The real subject

The Bristol Bombay was a British twin-engine aircraft serving at once as a transport machine and a bomber. It entered service at the end of the 1930s and was used above all in the Middle Eastern and North African theaters during the Second World War. A structure with fixed landing gear and a roomy cargo cabin was typical of the transport and utility aircraft of the day.

Building and painting tips

Before gluing, wash the resin parts clean of the remains of the mold release agent and cut the casting blocks off; glue them with cyanoacrylate glue. Bend the photo-etched parts over a sharp edge. Glue the plastic joints with a thin cement for plastic. On a model with large surfaces an airbrush and proper planning of the camouflage pay off; use gloss clear coat before the decals.

Who the model is for

  • for anyone interested in British prewar and early wartime aircraft
  • for more experienced modelers used to resin and photo-etch
  • for collectors of less usual types in 1:72 scale

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

FAQ

It was a British utility machine combining the role of a transport aircraft and a bomber, deployed above all in North Africa and the Middle East.

Rather not. The combination of resin and photo-etch calls for some experience of building.
