Manufacture PM Models Istanbul Turkey
Scale 1/72
Number of parts 41
Price in the UK £3.99 (2011)
Number of build options 2
Royal Air Force india 1945
US Navy Shangai China 1945
First Impressions
The box containing 3 light grey plastic sprues and 1 clear sprue. The molding of the parts look crisp with engraved lines similar to the panel lines on the new Airfix 1/72 Hurricane / Spitfires slightly deep and to wide but not to overly done , I could see some flash but only on the smaller parts.
The instructions consist of an A4 sheet with the normal exploded view diagrams. The instructions look straight forward and should be reasonable to follow by anyone who as a few kits under their belt.
Decals
A small sheet with two sets of markings, they look thick and from past experience with PM models might put up a struggle.
Interior
A simple cockpit with bulkhead behind the two pilots seats with and entrance to the rear cabin which is empty.
First impressions is that this is a value for money kit, that should look good when built and at £3.99 you can go far wrong.
PM also do a model of the Beech craft Kansan AT-11 which is very similar having a different fuselage with round windows and a transparent nose cone again with two sets of markings for a US and a Turkish a/c.
