		Fairey decided to meet the specification (0.8/38) by refining an earlier design that was essentially a lightened Fairey Battle.
		The Fulmar provided useful service in the Mediterranean where it faced the obsolete aircraft of the Regia Aeronautica and it's relatively low speed was less of a liability.
		A Fulmar became one of the first fighters to be launched from an armed merchantman, the Afriquani, during an Atlantic convoy crossing.

		It was superior in performance and firepower to its predecessor, the Fairey Fulmar, but did not enter operational service until towards the end of the war.
		The Firefly was designed by H.E. Chapman at Fairey Aviation in 1940 and in June of that year the Admiralty ordered 200 of the aircraft to meet Specification N.5/40.
		Although it was two tons heavier than the Fulmar (due largely to its armament of two 20mm cannon in each wing), the Firefly was 40 mph (64 km/h) faster due to improved aerodynamics and a more powerful engine; the 1,730 hp (1290 kW) Rolls-Royce Griffon IIB.

	Rareplanes 1/72 Fairey Fulmar Mk.I/II
		The Fulmar Mk II was outwardly very similar to the Fulmar Mk I, but the most easily recognisable difference between the two marks was the incorporation of two cheek air intakes either side of the front grille in the Fulmar Mk II.
		This was because the Fulmar Mk II was essentially a tropicalised version of the Fulmar Mk I. However, other internal update modifications had been made (including a new type of Merlin engine and propeller), which meant that the Fulmar Mk II shed a little weight over the Mk I version.
		A fl and white port profile of the front section is also provided to illustrate the position of the cheek air intakes and the anti-exhaust dazzle shields in front of the pilot in the Mk II, along with the position of the radio mast, and the sliding details of the canopy.

		Some aviation authors have much criticised the Fulmar, but, as a carrier-based aircraft, it was never considered likely to run into land-based fighters.
		I feel if Matchbox would have done the Fulmar, then it would have looked a lot like this, (albeit probably moulded in yellow and red plastic sprues), and that is a compliment, as I am a fan of Matchbox kits.
		The arrestor hook was glued into its recessed slot, the tail wheel into a hole in the rear of the lower fuselage, and a pitot tube fitted into a slot in the starboard wing.
