Description
Discover the iconic Mk.IV, the final iteration of the Vildebeest built for the RAF, now available as a detailed model kit. This version stands out with its sleeve valve Bristol Perseus engine, encased in an aerodynamically designed cowling, making it a distinctive addition to any collection. Initially featuring a two-bladed wooden propeller, the prototype evolved to include a three-bladed metal propeller in its series production models. Primarily deployed for anti-submarine patrols in New Zealand until 1941, these planes transitioned to training roles the following year, before being replaced by the more modern Harvard trainers and officially retired in 1943.
