Bristol Beaufort Mk.I - WWII British dominions Air Force

The ICM Bristol Beaufort Mk.I (HC-ICM48312) is a 1:48 scale plastic model kit capturing the RAF Coastal Command torpedo-bomber as flown by British Dominions during WWII. Units from the Royal New Zealand Air Force, South African Air Force and Royal Canadian Air Force operated the Beaufort in patrol, anti-submarine and combat roles between 1941 and 1943, including operations around the Cape of Good Hope and in the Madagascar theatre.
