Scale Aviation Modeller International 2002-09


This kit is injection moulded in grey plastic which is rather thin and brittle. The parts, the majority of which are quite small, are contained on one thick rectangular sprue which helps to protect them from damage. Despite their size the parts are well moulded and have a slightly matt finish to them and the aileron, elevator and rudder hinge lines are all well defined. Russian is the predominant language. One single double-sided sheet of multilingual A4, one side gives a potted history of this aircraft that was the first Russian fighter aircraft, with four views of this diminutive aircraft showing the position of the markings together with the paint colours. The reverse side shows exploded assembly diagrams, which also show side and front views of the undercarriage area, which proved very useful during construction. The instructions themselves are quite easy to follow and items to be painted are called out in an exploded view. The paint codes refer to both Humbrol and Tamiya colours.
