We present an exceptional plastic model kit – Valom 72039 Avro 618 “Ten” in the popular 1/72 scale. This product accurately represents one of the most important passenger aircraft, the British Avro 618 “Ten”.

The Avro 618 “Ten” was a British passenger aircraft, a licensed version of the famous Fokker F.VIIb/3m, manufactured by Avro for the needs of Australian airlines. It was widely used by Australia’s Qantas, as well as Australian National Airways and the Royal Australian Air Force, especially during the 1930s. These planes became legendary for their participation in pioneering passenger routes across Australia and various rescue missions – the most famous of which was the search for missing aviator Charles Kingsford Smith and the airplane Southern Cross.

The operational period of this model is mainly the interwar period (1929–1938). The Avro 618 “Ten” was used primarily in Australia and represented a significant step in the development of civil aviation on the continent.

The Valom 72039 is a plastic model kit designed for modelers who appreciate accuracy and historical reproduction. The set contains injection-molded high-quality plastic parts and clear elements for the cockpit glazing. It also includes detailed decals, enabling you to build a selected painting variant with a rich operational history, as well as a clear illustrated instruction manual.

Glue and paints are not included and need to be purchased separately – this way, each modeler can choose their preferred products and finishing techniques.

We recommend this model to both intermediate and experienced aviation and interwar period enthusiasts. It is excellent as an expansion of a civil and military aircraft collection from Australian and British history. The build difficulty is rated at 3/5 – the kit requires patience and precision, particularly when fitting parts to the specific shapes of the fuselage and wings.
