The Fairey Firefly Mk.I was a two-seat deck fighter and reconnaissance aircraft of the British Fleet Air Arm, deployed at the end of World War II. The aircraft was designed as a replacement for the obsolete Fairey Fulmar and featured a rugged design, a powerful Rolls-Royce Griffon engine and good flight characteristics when operating from aircraft carriers.
The Firefly Mk.I was deployed during operations in both Europe and the Pacific, where it proved its worth not only as a fighter escort, but also in reconnaissance and attack missions against naval and land targets. Its powerful armament and ability to carry both bombs and missiles made it a versatile combat asset for naval aviation.
The Special Hobby 1/48 Fairey Firefly Mk.I kit offers precision crafted plastic parts, a detailed cockpit for pilot and operator, realistic landing gear, armament and decals for several FAA machines. The resulting model is attractive in size, unusual appearance and historical significance.
Modelers with an interest in British naval aviation and lesser known WWII aircraft will especially appreciate this model.
