This is a classic kit dating back to 1959. Sadly the molds have not aged and there was mold damge to both fuselage halves. Apparently this is in most of the Heron kits so poor quality control by Airfix. The damage is fixable but the price should be reduced to reflect the damage from the molds.
Airfix: 1:72 de Havilland Heron MkII
Building on the success of de Havillands earlier twin engined Dove small
passenger aircraft, the companys attempt to produce a slightly larger
airliner resulted in the first flight of the Heron in May 1950. Capable of
comfortably carrying 17 passengers, the Heron had a longer fuselage and wings
than its predecessor and employed an additional pair of Gipsy Queen engines,
providing reassurance for crew and passengers alike. Early models of the
aircraft were produced with a fixed undercarriage, but the Mk.II variant
introduced a number of upgrades and improvements, most noticeably being the
adoption of a retractable undercarriage, with the resultant reduction in drag
providing a welcome performance boost. Although only 150 were built,
Herons served with both the RAF and Royal Navy.
