The Mk.III version was introduced in response to growing combat demands. The Whitley Mk.III was intensively used by the Royal Air Force for night raids on industrial targets in Germany and occupied Europe. This aircraft participated in the historic first RAF raid on German territory in September 1939, was also used for paratrooper drops, and patrolled coastal areas during anti-submarine warfare.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eModel Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe model features a highly detailed cockpit interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDistinct surface details – panel lines, riveting\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eClear glass parts for the cockpit and gun turrets\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIncluded decals allow for one of several historic RAF paint schemes\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAs a basic plastic kit, the model does not include additional parts, but the manufacturer has ensured it is easily upgradeable with aftermarket accessories, such as metal barrels or resin elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eRecommended For Whom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    This product is recommended for both intermediate and experienced aircraft modelers (difficulty level: 3\/5) who appreciate authentic details and the historical value of models.
