Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of a British regional airliner in 1:144 scale, the standard in which airliners are collected most often. The manufacturer is the Czech company Mark I Models. The double designation in the name reflects a change of owner of the manufacturer, not two different types of aircraft. The boxing focuses on civil color schemes. Check the package contents and the number of marking schemes on the box.
The Type 748 was created as a twin-engine turboprop regional airliner with a high-set tail, rugged landing gear and the ability to operate from short and unpaved runways. It was powered by Rolls-Royce Dart turboprop engines. It was originally a project of the Avro company; after it was taken into the Hawker Siddeley group it carried the designation HS.748, and after British Aerospace came into being it became the BAe 748. That is exactly why you will come across all three names for the same aircraft in the literature and in operating documents. Thanks to its modest demands on airfield quality, the type found use with regional carriers all over the world, and many machines flew long after production ended.
An airliner in a civil finish is a different discipline from a camouflaged military machine. What decides is a smooth, flawless surface, because a gloss finish accentuates every scratch and every joint that has not been sanded enough. Fill the fuselage joints, sand them down with progressively finer grits and finally polish them. A white base under the color stripes will make sure the shades are saturated and uniform. Apply the gloss varnish in thin coats, so that it does not run down the long surfaces of the fuselage. Apply the extensive decals of civil schemes on a fully cured gloss surface, one piece at a time and with plenty of decal softener, so that they settle on the rounded fuselage without creases.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
