....... .but the designation was changed for the FAI record-breaking flights - to fool the west.

It is a typical Modelsvit kit - highly detailed, but with large spue gates and every part had to be 'fettled' to clean them up.

 

The decal sheet is superb - as are the instructions, etched brass parts and canopy/wheel masks.

 

It fought me all the way though - but I won in the end.

The real thing resides at Monino.....
