1:144 Fairey Hamble Baby Convert
This is a 1:144 scale model of a Fairey Hamble Baby Convert landplane. A seaplane version is also available. Since many painters choose their own mounting system, no peg is included on the plane. Pegs can be purchased separately in the Accessories section of this catalog.
One of the problems encountered by the Sopwith Baby seaplane was generating sufficient lift at takeoff while carrying a bomb load. Fairey approached the problem by turning the trailing edges of the wings into lift-increasing flaps during takeoff and reverting them to normal aileron use while airborne. It was effective: the Baby could carry two 29 kg (65 lb) bombs with relative ease for such a modestly sized and powered aeroplane. The Babys performed coastal patrol from England and Mediterranean bases as well as working from the seaplane carrier Empress.
The last batch of seventy-four machines were built as a conventional landplane and were known as the Parnall Hamble Baby Convert.
