This kit is supplied in a large (for the size of the kit) box and a brief history is given on the side. Inside are the instructions, a decal sheet, and three plastic bags. The first bag contains a grey injection-moulded sprue with only a little visible flash and nice engraved detail. Some of the pour gates are quite large and will require careful trimming. The second bag holds the resin pieces for the cockpit detail, machine guns and the rotary engine. The final bag contains the etched-brass detail set and an acetate film for the instrument panel. No pilot or observer figures are supplied. I was under the impression that the 1 1/2 Strutter was a two-seat aircraft until I did some research and found it was produced in both a single and two seat configuration. When it entered service in 1916 it was the first aircraft to have air brakes and a variable incidence tailplane. It was also the first British aircraft to use the synchronised machine gun to fire through the propeller arc.
