Bristol Beaufort Mk.IA with RAF pilots

The ICM Bristol Beaufort Mk.IA with RAF pilots (HC-ICM48313) is a highly detailed 1:48 scale plastic model kit that captures the RAF Coastal Command torpedo bomber and the crews who operated it. Supplied with a Mk XII torpedo on a trolley and five figures (RAF pilots and ground staff), this set is ideal for creating a dynamic diorama of a crew preparing for a combat mission. Decals for four different markings and detailed assembly instructions are included.

About The Aircraft

The Bristol Beaufort entered RAF Coastal Command service in late 1939 and saw combat from the spring of 1940. It undertook aerial mining, day and night torpedo strikes, and bombing of coastal targets. Over time the type was improved; the Mk.IA received a new machine-gun turret and ASV radar to help locate ships. Beauforts served in demanding theatres such as the Mediterranean, attacking Axis convoys and warships. Despite heavy losses during some periods, RAF torpedo bomber crews achieved many successful strikes.
