Pardon the pun** A: The central part of the bottom is flat but the stern and bow are not. **Q: Do you get any planes with this** A: 12 in all, 6 Swordfish and 6 Fulmars. 4 of each with extended wings and 2 with folded. You do not get any markings for them however, **Q: does it need glue? whats the material?** A: I bought this as a gift for someone, so I don’t know for sure, but I have HMS Nelson and Bismarck, both in the same range, and neither of them came with glue included, so I imagine you will need to purchase some. The kit is plastic, so you probably need some sort of poly cement. I use Humbrol Poly Cement or Tamiya Extra Thin Cement. ## Frequently Bought Together - Airfix Ship Model Kit Vintage Classics - A04208V HMS Ark Royal, Plastic Watercraft Model Kits for Adults & Kids Ages 8+, Skill Level 3, 1:600 Scale WW2 Warship Models, Miniature Battleship Navy Gifts - Airfix Bismarck 1:600 Vintage Classics Military Naval Ship Plastic Model Kit A04204V, Small, Unpainted - Tamiya 31712 1/700 US Aircraft Carrier Yorktown Plastic Model Kit --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/67441470-airfix-vintage-classics-set-a04208v-hms-ark-royal-plastic-model](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/67441470-airfix-vintage-classics-set-a04208v-hms-ark-royal-plastic-model) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
