Tom's Model works adds another aircraft to its clear 3D printed naval air squadrons with the Royal Navy's Fairey Fulmar. Perfect for those who want to populate the flight decks of their Aoshima Ark Royal or Hasegawa Victorious.
From Tom's Modelworks:
Sometimes maligned and often forgotten today, the two-seat Fairey Fulmar served with distinction during a critical period when no practical alternatives were available to the Fleet Air Arm. While it's performance was inferior to contemporary single-seat fighters, the Fulmar gave the Royal Navy a reliable, sturdy monoplane fighter with long range and good endurance. Built in large numbers, the type fought over the sea in every wartime theatre including the defense of Malta, Ceylon and the Mediterranean Campaign where Fulmars shot down large numbers of enemy aircraft, most notably in Operation Pedestal while operating from HMS Eagle, Formidable and Illustrious. In fact, Fulmars were credited with nearly 1/3 of the aircraft shot down by the FAA in the war and it also produced nine FAA aces - more than any other aircraft for the whole war.

Each set (No Fulmar-700) comes with 3 aircraft and are available direct from Tom's Modelworks for $19.49 (US) plus shipping.
