About product

1:48 SNCAC NC.701 Martinet from Special Hobby

An injection-molded plastic kit of the French twin-engine NC.701 Martinet in 1:48 scale from the Czech brand Special Hobby. It is a subject you do not often come across in this scale. The number of parts, the content of the decal sheet and any resin parts, photo-etched parts or masks are stated on the kit box.

The real subject

The NC.701 Martinet is the French post-war production version of the German twin-engine Siebel Si 204, which was also built in occupied France during the war. After the liberation, the factories grouped under the SNCAC abbreviation went on building machines for French needs. With two piston engines and a strikingly glazed nose section, the aircraft served as a trainer for navigators, radio operators and bombardiers, and also as a liaison and light transport machine. A number of airframes ended their careers in civilian colors.

Building and painting tips

The glazed nose and the extensive canopy glazing are the most conspicuous feature of this type, so it pays to mask the clear parts carefully and to glue them with a cement that does not fog transparent surfaces. The interior is clearly visible through the glazing, so the effort put into painting it comes back. With kits of this kind it helps to dry-fit the parts and to correct the joints by sanding rather than by pressure. Spray a gloss coat before the decals and then unify the surface according to the scheme you choose.

Who the model is for

  • Anyone interested in the post-war French Air Force and in trainer aircraft
  • Modelers looking for a less common subject for the display case
  • Collectors of twin-engine aircraft in 1:48 scale
  • Builders with experience of glazed canopies and of masking them

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The French post-war production version of the German twin-engine Siebel Si 204. It served mainly for crew training and for liaison and light transport duties.

Rather for the moderately advanced. The extensive glazing makes demands on masking and on clean gluing of the clear parts.

The full package contents are stated on the kit box, which usually also lists what is inside besides the plastic parts.

The number of schemes is given on the kit box and in the enclosed instructions. The type flew in military and in civilian colors, so the choice tends to be varied with these machines.
