Oxford Diecast Supermarine Seagull RAAF RAF Museum Hendon Walrus Scale 1/72 72SW001

Oxford Diecast’s 1/72 scale aviation range combines quality diecast construction with detailed, historically accurate finishes. This Supermarine Seagull V (also known as the Walrus) in Royal Australian Air Force markings is a superb replica of the aircraft displayed at the RAF Museum, Hendon. Featuring fine panel detailing, authentic roundels, and realistic weathering, it’s a beautiful representation of one of the most versatile amphibious aircraft ever built.

The Supermarine Seagull V/Walrus served with both the RAF and RAAF from the 1930s through World War II, performing reconnaissance, air-sea rescue, and maritime patrol duties. Designed by R.J. Mitchell — the same engineer behind the Spitfire — the Walrus was rugged, reliable, and capable of operating from both water and land. Aircraft like the one preserved at Hendon symbolise the global reach of Commonwealth aviation and the ingenuity of British aircraft design during the interwar and wartime years.
