Drawings provided in both colour side and plan view with 1:72 scale plans, kit decal and accessory lists, squadrons, units and individual aircraft serials in codes, etc. Once the designs had been agreed with Lockheed, not a company known in the UK at the time but significant in the US both military and US civilian airlines, a order was placed for 200 aircraft at a cost of $ 25 million with a unit cost of £ 17.000.
After approving the design proposals of Lockheed, a major American manufacturer of military and civil aircraft, but little known in Britain at the time, the British military ordered 200 Lockheed "Hudson" aircraft worth 25 million dollars, at a unit price per aircraft of 17,000 pounds sterling.
