1:144 Short Bomber
This is a 1:144 scale model of a Short Bomber. Since many painters choose their own mounting system, no peg is included on the plane. Pegs can be purchased separately in the Accessories section of this catalog.
The Royal Navy Air Service sought to acquire a large land-based bomber and the Short Type 184 was adapted in the form of the Short Bomber. The plane started with the Type 184 fuselage, but stability was improved with a longer fuselage and this change was made soon after the first production planes arrived. The wings were different from the start, adding a bay to extend them for greater lifting power. Later production planes upgraded from the Type 184's original 225hp Sunbeam engine to the 250hp Rolls-Royce Eagle.
At least fifteen Short Bombers were transferred to the Royal Flying Corps around the time of the Somme Offensive in summer 1916. By early 1917 the Short Bombers were starting to be phased out because the Handley-Page O/100 carried a much larger bomb-load.
