Italeri Aircraft 1/72 Stirling Mk I Bomber Kit

First amongst the four-engined heavy bombers that would rain death on Nazi Germany during WWII was the British-built Short Stirling. Designed by the Short Brothers Company from scaled-down, four-engine airboats, the Short Stirling was capable of carrying 14,000 lbs of bombs. It had a long range with lighter loads and was heavily defended with machine guns. Later aircraft could fly higher and faster, but the Short Stirling was the first four-engine to strike for freedom.
