PC-9A
in 1/48 scale is produced by L & M Resim Models from Croatia. This company
is known for their range of sometimes unusual and rare subjects in resin kits
form, like their series of Pilatus PC-9 in 1/72 scale including Texan II, Kraguj
aircraft and pre WW 2 aircraft and gliders from Europe.
This
kit consists of a quite cleanly moulded resin parts for the one piece airframe,
and one piece wings and 48 other resin parts. One
propeller are included, with the spinner moulded separately
to this version. Surface has good detail with recessed panel lines that
are quite fine.
Two
PE sets provide both instrument
panels complete with photo-film for instruments and other cockpit instruments,
pedals, seat belts, air brakes and small tubes.
Two
vac-form canopies are supplied.

recommend this kit to anyone who wants an attractive and different subject in
their collection.
