Explore the Iconic Stirling Mk.I in 1/72 Scale

The Short Stirling Mk.I holds a significant place in aviation history as the first four-engine British heavy bomber used during World War II. Known for its high wing design and robust metal airframe, this aircraft was a key component of the Royal Air Force Bomber Command from 1940. Although it was eventually replaced by more advanced bombers like the Halifax and Lancaster, the Stirling Mk.I's ability to carry over 6,000 kg of bombs and its defensive armament of eight 7.7 mm machine guns made it a formidable presence in its time.

The kit also includes a color instruction sheet and decals for six different versions, allowing model builders to choose their preferred historical representation. Whether you're a seasoned collector or a hobbyist looking to delve into WWII aviation, this model offers an engaging building experience and a rewarding display piece.
