petr@specialhobby Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Dear modellers, I´d like to present here our newest 1/32 kit of the Romanian IAR-81C: For Azur-Frrom company, our foreign partner, we are producing model of the probably most famous Romanian fighter plane, the IAR-81C in 1/32 scale. The model is in five frames of grey plastic and one frame of clear parts, there are also detailed resin parts, photo-etches and two decal sheets containing five different planes of the Romanian air force. The whole model was designed using the 3D technology, the main parts – fuselage halves, wing and the tailplanes - are moulded in short-run type moulds. What distinguishes this model from the short-run production is the remaining parts in two frames. These are moulded in metal moulds in excellent quality. This gives the model a highly detailed interier, engine and undercarriage. The control surfaces, ie the rudder, elevator and the flaps, can be attached in different positions. A slim booklet of sixteen pages, printed in full colour, will be your companion throughout the construction.

On close-up views 05 and 06 you can see realistically sagged fabric on the construction of the ailerons and flaps. 05 06 07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petr@specialhobby Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Clear parts, the canopy is in two pieces and there are also two clear parts for the gunsight, the sun-screen and reflector glass. We have forgotten one of them and therefore it is injected separately: The decals and photo-etched parts. There are five different markings. It was prepared with the help of probably the greatest expert on the Romanian AF, Mr. Radu Brinzan: Resin parts – exhausts, gunsight and two types of carburettor intake. The bigger one is fitted with anti-dust filter with fine mesh on its surface: Instructions printed on glossy coated paper and stapled to a slim booklet will guide you through the construction: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
