LACI 1:144 Boeing 727-200 Landing Flaps is a resin set of the extended high-lift devices of the wing for a model of the stretched Boeing 727-200. It is an accessory cut for the Minicraft kit, not a model of an airplane.
Responsibility details are not available.
A resin accessory set that on a Boeing 727-200 model replaces the simplified wing from a plastic kit with high-lift devices in the fully extended position. On its own it is not a kit of an airplane - it is a conversion part that is glued into a base model. It is made for the Minicraft kit in 1:144 scale.
The Boeing 727-200 was the stretched version of the original three-engine 727 and became the most widespread form of this type. The engines stayed grouped at the rear of the fuselage and the tail surfaces had a T layout. The wing of the 727 was among the most heavily equipped in the civil aviation of its day: slotted flaps on the trailing edge, extended along tracks far beyond the outline of the wing, were supplemented by leading-edge devices. Thanks to that the aircraft kept the ability to use shorter runways even at higher weights. On a model this configuration is by far the most striking, because the outline of the wing changes markedly when the devices are extended.
Before the build, wash the parts in lukewarm water with detergent and let them dry thoroughly - otherwise mold release agent will reliably ruin the finish. Cut the casting blocks off with a fine-toothed saw and sand the surfaces; do the sanding with breathing protection, best of all wet. The trailing section of the kit wing has to be cut away, so mark the cut first, try the part dry and only then work with a cutter. It is glued with cyanoacrylate glue; the gel version is handy for better control of the position. Then unify the whole with primer, which at the same time shows where filler needs to be added. When painting, remember that the inside of the flap tracks and the lower surfaces of the devices usually have a different shade from the surrounding skin.
This is an accessory set, not a stand-alone model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
