About product

Salmson Sal.2A2 In Polish Services 1:72 - a kit by Kovozavody Prostejov

An injection-molded plastic kit of the French two-seat Salmson 2A2 reconnaissance biplane in 1:72 scale. According to the name the release is aimed at machines operated in Polish service, which is at the same time what sets it apart from the other boxings of the same type. The model is meant to be glued and painted.

The real subject

The Salmson 2A2 was a two-seat reconnaissance and observation aircraft of French production, used in the closing stages of the First World War. It was powered by a water-cooled Salmson radial engine, which gave the type its name. It was a proven and numerously built machine, which after 1918 served in a whole range of countries - the newly formed armies of central and eastern Europe used it, where it carried out reconnaissance, liaison and training duties into the 1920s.

Building and painting tips

On a biplane the order of steps is crucial. Finish and paint the fuselage and the lower wing first, and only then glue the struts and the upper wing - ideally on a simple jig of blocks or with a cardboard template, so that both the angle and the spacing come out right. Use a slow-setting glue, which leaves time for lining things up. Add the bracing of stretched thread or drawn sprue only after clear-coating. Period camouflage and fabric covering will not stand high gloss, so bring the surface into line at the end with a matte overcoat.

Who the model is for

  • Anyone interested in the aviation of the First World War and the 1920s
  • Modelers of biplanes in 1:72 scale
  • Builders interested in the service of the type in Polish hands

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

FAQ

A French two-seat reconnaissance and observation biplane of the end of the First World War, widespread in a number of European countries after 1918.

It is more demanding in accuracy. The upper wing is glued on through the struts, so a simple jig and a slow-setting glue pay off.

The contents of the box are not stated here. Stretched thread is usually bought separately, so check that before buying against the manufacturer's details.
