Historical information and application

The SE.5a was one of the most famous British fighter aircraft of World War I. Produced from 1917 by the Royal Aircraft Factory, it was used, among others, by Great Britain and countries of the British Commonwealth. Equipped with a modern-for-its-time Wolseley Viper engine, this fighter took part in numerous air battles, earning a reputation for being a reliable and effective design. The radiator for the Wolseley Viper engine cooling system was a key element ensuring the reliable operation of this powerplant under combat conditions.

Why choose this product?

• Precisely reproduced shape and details of the historic Wolseley Viper engine radiator
• High-quality resin ensures easy processing and perfect fit with the base model
• Additional photo-etched elements allow a realistic, metallic texture of the cooling components
• Product recommended for both advanced modellers seeking high levels of realism and intermediate enthusiasts looking to upgrade their model

The assembly difficulty level is rated at 3/5 – basic experience with resin and photo-etched parts is recommended. I especially recommend it to those building dioramas from the Great War period and to all modellers wishing for historical accuracy and improved visual effect for their SE.5a models.
