Sova Model 1:72 General Aviation Ga-43 Clark Western Air Express is a plastic kit of an American all-metal airliner of the 1930s in the colors of a carrier from the same country.
Responsibility details are not available.
This injection-molded plastic kit in 1:72 scale brings a rarely covered American airliner of the early 1930s, this time in a boxing tied to service with the American carrier Western Air Express. The difference against the sister releases of the same type lies chiefly in the color scheme and the markings; the airframe itself stays the same. It is short-run production - the parts have more pronounced sprue stubs and it is worth trying the mating surfaces dry before gluing. The exact contents of the package, the number of parts and the number of schemes are given in the instructions supplied with the kit.
The General Aviation Ga-43, also designated after its designer as the Clark Ga-43, was a single-engine all-metal low-wing monoplane with retractable landing gear and an enclosed cabin for fewer than ten passengers. It represents the generation in which American airliners were moving to cantilever metal structures with aerodynamically clean shapes. Only a very small number were built, and they passed between several operators; one of the first users of the type was precisely the American carrier whose colors this boxing is aimed at.
Proceed as with other short-run kits: try every part dry first, sand the mating surfaces as needed and fill the seams. Choose a thin plastic cement and run it into the seam by capillary action. Apply a primer before painting, which will even out the surface and show up any remaining scratches. An all-metal airframe tempts you toward metallic shades, but those pick out every insufficiently sanded area without mercy, so set aside time for preparing the surface. Apply the decals onto a gloss clear coat, settle them with a decal softener and finish the surface with an overcoat suited to the character of the scheme. The cabin glazing is best masked and sprayed rather than brush-painted.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
