Plastic kit of the Romanian I.A.R. 81C fighter in 1:72 scale. The release is tied to the great air battles of 1944; the model is supplied unassembled and unpainted.
Responsibility details are not available.
The I.A.R. 81C is the late fighter version of the Romanian I.A.R. 80. Compared with the early machines it received heavier armament with 20 mm cannon, which was already able to threaten even large four-engine bombers. It was powered by the two-row fourteen-cylinder I.A.R. K14 radial engine, built under license from a French design. In 1944 aircraft of this type took part in the defense of Romanian airspace against Allied raids, which were aimed above all at the oil region near Ploiesti.
This is a plastic kit in 1:72 scale to be glued and painted. It matches the I.A.R. 81C standard, that is, the cannon-armed fighter version. The model is supplied unassembled; the parts have to be separated from the sprues, cleaned up and joined with cement for polystyrene.
It is a good idea to finish the cockpit before closing the fuselage and to check the fit of the canopy right away. The radial engine shows through the cowling, so a dark base and lightened cylinder edges pay off. Romanian machines carried conspicuous recognition markings, so apply the decals only onto a smooth gloss surface to avoid silvering edges. The small landing gear parts are better painted while still on the sprue and glued on at the very end.
The kit will appeal to anyone interested in the final phase of the war in the east and in the aircraft of the smaller air powers. In its scope it suits modelers with basic experience. Paints, glue and other equipment are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
