About product

PKZ-2 1:72 — a Roden kit

This injection-molded plastic kit in 1:72 scale from Roden represents the experimental Austro-Hungarian PKZ-2 tethered helicopter of 1918. The model is supplied as an unassembled and unpainted kit and a stand is included in the package.

The real subject

The PKZ-2 was an Austro-Hungarian experimental tethered observation helicopter of the First World War. During trials the machine was tethered to the ground and was to serve as a stable observation post in place of a tethered balloon. It never reached frontline service, but historically it is among the first machines with a main rotor that managed to lift off the ground.

Building and painting tips

The structure of the real machine is delicate, so separate the parts carefully with a sharp knife and glue the joints with liquid cement for plastic. Reinforce the fine elements of the frame structure and apply a primer before painting. A restrained wash will help the details stand out. The model shows to advantage on the stand supplied.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of First World War subjects
  • Anyone interested in the history of rotorcraft
  • Modelers who will appreciate an unconventional subject
  • Builders with experience of fine parts in 1:72 scale

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