Azur FR0043 B-10 Export WC/WAN 1/72 – Plastic scale model aircraft for assembly

The Azur FR0043 B-10 Export WC/WAN in 1/72 scale is a precisely reproduced plastic model of the American Martin B-10 bomber, in export versions used in the Far East (WC – Netherlands East Indies/WAN – China). This aircraft was a groundbreaking design in the 1930s, serving as the primary equipment of bomber aviation prior to World War II. The model is dedicated to aviation modeling enthusiasts interested in aviation history and exotic liveries of combat aircraft used in Asia.

Historical background and usage

The Martin B-10 was the world’s first all-metal bomber with a fully enclosed cockpit and retractable landing gear, which entered service in the mid-1930s. The export versions were delivered to the Netherlands East Indies (present-day Indonesia) and China, where they saw combat against Japanese forces during World War II. These aircraft were used extensively in the prewar period and at the beginning of World War II before being replaced by more modern designs. In China, the B-10 bombers were of particular importance as support for Kuomintang air forces during the Second Sino-Japanese War.
