Eduard 1/48 Fairey Fulmar Mk.II

The British Fairey Fulmar was a carrier-borne fighter aircraft of the Fleet Air Arm (FAA), which served in the Second World War. A total of 600 were built by Fairey Aviation's Stockport factory during 1940/1941. Its design was based on that of the earlier Fairey P.4/34 that had been developed in 1936 to replace the Fairey Battle light bomber. Although its performance, like that of its Battle antecedent, was lacking, the Fulmar was a reliable, sturdy aircraft with long range and an effective eight machine gun armament.
