Airfix Crash Recovery Set 1/76 Model Kit

Recreate the busy world of RAF aircraft recovery and maintenance with the Airfix Crash Recovery Set in 1/76 scale. This 147-piece plastic model kit brings together two important British support vehicles used around wartime and post-war airfields, providing an excellent basis for a detailed maintenance or recovery diorama.

The set includes a Bedford Ox tractor with Queen Mary Trailer and a Thornycroft Amazon recovery vehicle fitted with a crane. Rated at skill level 3 and suitable for modellers aged 8 years and above, the kit also includes two paint schemes for creating different airfield scenes.

Bedford Ox and Queen Mary Trailer

The Bedford Ox was a dependable British military vehicle used during the Second World War. When paired with the Queen Mary Trailer, it provided an important means of moving dismantled or damaged aircraft fuselages and other large components between airfields and Maintenance Units.

This combination gives the set plenty of potential for aircraft recovery scenes, including the transport of damaged or partially dismantled airframes for repair.

Thornycroft Amazon Recovery Vehicle

The Thornycroft Amazon adds a second key element to the set. Equipped with a crane, it was used for lifting tasks associated with aircraft recovery and maintenance, including moving engines and handling substantial airframe components.

Together, these vehicles represent the ground support teams that helped keep RAF fighter and bomber squadrons operational throughout the war and into the post-war years.
