■Product Description
Introducing the completely new mold 1/72 Fairey Firefly Mk.4/5 from Sword of Czechoslovakia. The kit includes painting mask stickers and three types of decals. When completed, the aircraft will be approximately 161mm in length and 174mm in wingspan. Sword's kits have finely molded panel lines and excellent detail. The included decals are also of very high quality and have good color reproduction.
The Fairey Firefly was a two-seat carrier-based fighter developed by Fairey of the UK as a successor to the Fulmar fighter. Although the aircraft made its first flight in 1941, development delays meant that the first operational deployment to combat units was at the end of 1943, and combat participation began in the summer of 1944. Its initial missions were mainly armed reconnaissance along the coast of Germany-occupied Norway and attacks on enemy ships in the area, and it played an escort role for the attack force during the attack on the German battleship Tirpitz on August 24, 1944. In 1945, the Firefly entered the Pacific Ocean and flew over Tokyo in July of the same year, marking the first time a British military aircraft had flown over mainland Japan during World War II. After the war, the Firefly was deployed to Canada, Australia, Denmark, the Netherlands, Ethiopia, India, and Thailand, and remained in service until the 1960s. The kit we are offering here reproduces the Mk.4/5, the last fighter variant of the Firefly series, which was used by Britain and Australia as a carrier-based fighter-bomber during the Korean War and remained in service until the armistice.
