Fly 72027 Rotachute Mk IV 1/72 – plastic model kit

Fly 72027 Rotachute Mk IV in 1/72 scale is a unique plastic model kit, faithfully representing the experimental British single-seat rotary glider developed during World War II. The model is designed for modellers with a passion for unusual aircraft constructions and for all aviation history enthusiasts.

The British Rotachute Mk IV was developed by Raoul Hafner for the British Airborne Forces. Its purpose was to provide individual soldiers with the ability to quickly and easily airdrop equipment and personnel. The project was created in response to the demand for means of transporting airborne troops in situations where larger gliders could not be used.

Rotachute Mk IV was tested between 1941 and 1942, during World War II. Despite numerous field trials in the UK, the design ultimately did not enter serial production due to limited stability and advancements in conventional parachutes and gliders. Nevertheless, this model remains an excellent example of the avant-garde approach to modern technology of that era.
