Valiant Wings' next Airframe Detail title features the venerable Fairey Battle. The Fairey Battle was the British light bomber aircraft flown by the RAF during the earlier "battles" of World War II. It was designed for low-level attacks and was primarily operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF). However, it had several limitations, including vulnerability to enemy fire and poor performance at high altitudes, which led to its eventual replacement by more advanced aircraft.

Their eleventh title in the Airframe Detail series is an essential companion for anyone tackling the 1/72 scale kit from Azur-Frrom, the Trumpeter example in 1/48 scale, or even one of the older toolings.

Full detailed build of the Trumpeter 1/48 Battle Mk I kit by Steve Evans and the Azur-Frrom 1/72nd Battle Mk I kit 'In Belgium' by Libor Jekl.

Contents include:

Period detail images during production and testing, including data from flight manuals and spare parts catalogues

A wealth of historical technical photographs and diagrams

Detailed walkaround images of preserved examples

Over 50 full-colour profiles by Richard J. Caruana

Concise camouflage and marking notes

Lists of all Battle kits and accessories produced in all scales
