S.A.A.F Fairey Battle
Airfix Fairey Battle
The South African Air Force used the Battle to great extent and success in the East African campaign bombing Italian airfields and tank formations. It was obtained from the British on lend-lease agreement as the two countries had good ties.
This is the Airfix kit and is a really old kit, it had raised panel lines and a closed canopy,no cockpit detail to speak of and some issues with the fitting of wings to fuselage. It also has almost no undercarriage detail but does have the option to have bomb bay doors open.
I wasn't to worried with the detail as i just wanted a Battle in South African colors for my S.A.A.F collection and this one did the job.
