In the 1930s, Australia requested an advanced maritime patrol aircraft, leading to the Seagull Mk V. The RAAF received 24 of these biplanes, featuring an all-metal hull and Pegasus pusher engine. Improved versions were named Walrus Mk I and served with the Royal Navy for spotting and reconnaissance. During WWII, Walruses took on escort, air-sea rescue, and even bombing roles, excelling in battles like Cape Matapan. Saunders-Roe built the Mk II with a wooden hull for training. The type served globally, even postwar, with military and civilian users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore to read about the KIT \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.scalemates.com\/fr\/kits\/special-hobby-sh48164-walrus-mki--944512\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e, thanks to scalemates, a Belgian Scale modeling database\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Special Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52169526280538,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/files\/D2D19712-C668-4584-B8DF-6B5FAFA7D8B6.heic?v=1757686348","url":"https:\/\/aviation.brussels\/products\/maquette-a-monter-walrus-mk-i-post-war-foreign-service-special-hobby-n-sh48164-1-48-like-new-inside-unopened","provider":"aviation.brussels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
