Valom 72116 Handley Page Harrow Mk.II (Toothy marking) 1/72 – plastic model kit

The Valom 72116 Handley Page Harrow Mk.II model in 1/72 scale is a unique offering for historic aviation enthusiasts who want to expand their collection with a rarely seen British bomber from the interwar period and the early years of World War II. The kit stands out thanks to its special "Toothy marking" paint scheme, commemorating the distinctive predator mouth motif painted on an aircraft operated by the British Air Force.

The Handley Page Harrow Mk.II was designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom for the Royal Air Force. Its primary role was to serve as a heavy bomber and transport aircraft from the mid-1930s. Although it did not play a significant combat role during World War II, this type of aircraft was involved in training, glider towing, and as flying ambulances, mainly in the years 1936–1945. Interestingly, during the Battle of Britain, they were used for mine-laying, parachute drops, and supply missions.

The presented Valom set is a meticulously crafted plastic model kit that faithfully replicates the fuselage, wings, and armament details characteristic of the Harrow Mk.II. The sprue parts are made from high-quality plastic with good fit, and the kit includes detailed decals, allowing you to recreate the authentic, unique "Toothy marking." The kit does not include glue, paints, or tools—this is a classic set appreciated by modelers looking for a challenge and historical authenticity. The well-thought-out design allows for mounting of a clear cockpit canopy and accurately reproduced interior elements.
