Short 184 Torpedo Bomber

8,584 Wormforce  9.0 years ago

The Short 184 was a british two-seat reconnaissance, bombing and torpedo seaplane. It was first flown in 1915 and remained in service until the end of WWI. It was aslo the first aircraft to sink a ship using a torpedo. My reproduction can only take off and land on water and feature a torpedo (release with 1 ). I hope you will enjoy it !
