Pre '41 Training Aircraft


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

A new 'bug' has bitten me at the moment but I need to test the water to see if there is any mileage in it.

I've got a sort of "wish list" of classic training aircraft which I would like to model but I don't know if any of these exist in any scale (72nd preferably)

Avro Tutor

G.A. Owlet

Arado 96

Breda 28

Caproni 113

S.E.T 10 (Romania)

Rogojarsky Sim-XI (Yugoslavia as was)

Viima II (finland)

"Pyry" (finland)

Any thoughts or am I on a highway to nowhere with this lot?

Cheers

Matt

Cheers for the reply, is Great Models a US based company? If so, do they ship out to the UK?

Guess I could be less lazy and look it up myself!

Great Models is a US company, but they will ship world wide.

You can also get kits from Squadron.com who is also a US company, but will ship worldwide.

The Ar-96 is available pretty regularly in injection format. Some of the others are found in resin format and can get pretty pricey.

Thankyou Jason, as it happens, I just remembered hannants and had a check on what they have in and found the following;

Avro Tutor 1/72

Viima II 1/72

Mind you, I wince at paying £24 for a 1/72 biplane kit

And apparently Heller did a 1/72 Arado 96, as hannants sell a Falcon canopy and some Etch kits and decals for use with that kit. Just can't find the kit now!

I'd forgotten what a gold mine hannants is :thumbsup:

BTW, you say "Classic Training Aircraft" yet fail to mention the Tiger Moth. (We really need a "puzzled" emoticon here unless I've missed it)

Well, I know that I can at least get a TM in 1:72, so I didn't include it my list, what I was looking for were some of the more esoteric types that I haven't been able to dig up anywhere.

There are about 150 WW2 era types which I would like a kit of, but haven't found, but there's not a great deal of point in me writing an enormous exhaustive list

Cor blast bor, you're not far from Hannants if you're at Cromer, get you down there.

I'll most likely order something from Hannants, I don't think I dare venture in through the door, I think I would come out bankrupt :blink:

It's quite scary really, a couple of years back I wandered into a small model shop with no intention of buying anything.

Little did I know that hidden behind all the model railway stuff and rc car bits, was a pile of dusty plastic kits.

:yahoo:

Walked out a lot poorer and had to explain to my darling wife where the cash in my pocket (meant for paying the rent) was and why I was smuggling boxes into the house behind my back
