Vought Kingfisher OS2U-1 in 1:200 scale is a set of five plastic kits of the American shipboard observation aircraft from Trumpeter. The set serves above all to complete warship models in the same scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
The package holds five plastic kits of the American observation aircraft Vought OS2U-1 Kingfisher in 1:200 scale. They are released by Trumpeter and supplied unassembled and unpainted. The set is aimed mainly at builders of warship models in 1:200 scale, for whom it fills the catapults and the stowage areas with a convincing number of aircraft.
The Kingfisher was an American two-seat observation aircraft launched by catapult from the decks of battleships and cruisers. It normally flew on a large central float with small auxiliary floats under the wing, but a version with conventional wheeled landing gear for operation from land existed as well. The main part of its service was observation and spotting for naval gunfire, patrolling against submarines and search and rescue flights. It is precisely the rescue operations from the open sea that are among the best known episodes of its career. The OS2U-1 version was the first production variant, which reached the units at the turn of the 1930s and 1940s. The aircraft served with Allied navies as well and stayed in use practically throughout the Second World War.
The parts in this scale are small, so separate them with a sharp knife and sand the gate remnants away with a fine-grained file. Assemble the floats and their struts against a template or with the help of tweezers, so that the angle is right. Lay the paint down with an airbrush in very thin coats. The cockpit glazing can simply be suggested with a light shade and a fine brush, because framing is hard to draw in 1:200. If you place the aircraft on a model of a ship, it pays to leave at least one on the catapult and to spread the others over the stowage areas. Tie-downs can be suggested with a hair or a fine fiber.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
