P.209.02 Airmodel AM2069 - Resin 1/72 William Moore |

This is a typical Airmodel kit
as moulded by Czechmaster . A single piece body , 2 forward swept wings
,cockpit piece and details ( basic ) with canopy , seperate jet
inlet/outlets and a vacform canopy. As usual the U/c area has lots of
parts on a thin circle of resin. The U/c doors have stringers moulded
on them. The actual plane is interesting for it's wings that are
forward swept but otherwise the plane is very conventional in a MiG 15
sort of way. The inlet is far enough down that it can be dug in further
to give a better illusion of depth as was not able to be done with the
He P1078C. The front part of the cockpit area will need lots of lead to
avoid a tail sitter The parts seem to fit ok though some cleanup is necessary . There is a mould line down the middle of the body with some small holes also needing to be filled. This kit looks like it will go together fine and is recommended . Airmodel kits have become somewhat elusive - I'd try Av Usk and Hannants - see Links page but as of 2000 I'm not sure anymore. |
