1/72 4015 Pegasus Martinsyde Elephant
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Mint
Still factory sealed and still the only injection molded 1/72 Elephant kit ever made. Limited production kit, this is one of only 1,500 made. Features injection molded main parts with many precision pewter castings for the smaller details and complete decals. The Martinsyde Elephant entered service in 1916 as a fast scout; but history always has greatly plans for the most versatile aircraft. The Elephant was blessed with an endurance over 5 hours and quickly became a long-range reconnaissance aircraft. But with the addition of the more powerful 160hp Beardmore engine, the Elephant soon entered front line service as a light bomber. It was then in Palestine that she came into her own. From bombing and reconnaissance to a particularly successful career rescuing pilots downed behind enemy lines, its memory lived on, being features within the badge of No. 27 Squadron RAF.
