The Italeri Stirling Mk.III Model Kit lets you create an iconic aircraft in British history.
The Short Stirling was the first four-engined British heavy bomber of the Second World War. The design had a high wing, four engines and the cabin elevated over the fuselage. The airframe was fully made in metal. Another feature that characterised the bomber was the impressive size of the landing gears.
The first bombers went to equip the Royal Air Force Bomber Command Squadrons from the end of 1940. Operational status was reached in January 1941 and the first war mission was dated February 1941 against logistic installation in Rotterdam.
A direct successor of the Mk.I version, the Mk.III was fitted with new and improved Bristol Hercules XVI engines and enhanced defensive armaments.
