£3.99

Italeri 1 72 Hudson MK IV V

Built in 1938 to meet the requirements of the British Purchasing Commission the Hudson was an extrapolation of a long series of twin-engine aircraft previously produced by Lockheed At the outbreak of WWII many RAF Coastal Command squadrons were already equipped with this plane and on 8th October 1939 it achieved its first success when it shot down a Dornier Do 18 off Jutland Soon the U S Navy began placing orders for the Hudson as did Canada Australia New Zealand and Brazil Steady development saw the emergence of tougher better equipped versions that were a favourite with crews and highly effective in the war against submarines by the end of the war Hudsons had sunk 25 U-Boats and in only 5 of those cases was cooperation with other craft required On the whole it was exceptionally efficient
especially when one considers it was originally designed for civilian use Size 18 7cm Scale 1 72
