1/72 Vickers Viking 1B (Cargo)
Valom 1/72 Vickers Viking 1B (Cargo) is a kit of a post-war British transport aircraft in cargo configuration, which used for transporting goods and materials during the post-World War II civil aviation revival. The 1/72 scale model offers an interesting alternative to the classic military types and is intended primarily for modellers interested in less common civil and utility aircraft.
The Vickers Viking was developed immediately after the Second World War as a modern British transport aircraft for civil use. In addition to passenger service, freight variants were developed in response to the increased demand for air freight in post-war Europe. The Viking 1B Cargo version was adapted to carry cargo and mail, while retaining the robust all-metal construction and reliability of the original design. These machines were used by civilian carriers and government operators alike and made a significant contribution to the restoration of trade and logistics links.
Valom's 1/72 scale kit depicts the Vickers Viking 1B freighter with the distinctive features of this variant, including the fuselage shape and wing design with engine nacelles. This model is intended for more experienced modellers who will appreciate the less traditional model and the opportunity to add a late 1940s civilian cargo aircraft to their collection. Thanks to the cargo design, the kit is also suitable for dioramas depicting airport operations and logistics of the post-war period.
The package does not include the paint or glue needed for assembly.
