A plastic kit of a British experimental aircraft in flying wing layout, in 1:72 scale. It is supplied as a set of parts for assembly and painting. Check the exact number of parts, the contents of the package and the marking options on the manufacturer's box.
The A.W.52 was a British research aircraft from the second half of the 1940s, built as a flying wing without a conventional fuselage and tail surfaces. It arose within a program that explored the behavior of laminar flow and the possibilities of laying out an airliner without a fuselage. It was powered by two jet units buried in the wing, and directional control was provided by vertical surfaces at the wing tips. Two jet-powered prototypes were built, and before them an unpowered demonstrator that served to verify the flying qualities. The type never reached series production, but it belongs among the most interesting British aerodynamic experiments of the postwar period and its shape is easy to remember to this day.
On a flying wing of such clean shape, perfect fit of the two wing halves is the key thing — try the joints dry in advance and fill and sand any steps, because on a smooth surface every unevenness shows. Finish and paint the cockpit and the landing gear bays before you close the central section. Apply a primer before the final coat, as it reveals any remaining scratches from sanding. Polished metal and smooth painted surfaces call for a carefully prepared base, otherwise small flaws stand out.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
