About product

Percival Prince Mk.3 in Royal Australian Air Force colors 1:72 - Valom

This kit in 1:72 scale covers the Percival Prince Mk.3, a twin-engine light transport aircraft, in the configuration of the Royal Australian Air Force. Behind the model stands Valom, a Czech brand that specializes in subjects outside the mainstream: you will find this type in plastic practically nowhere else. Sister boxings of the same family of aircraft exist as well, so a whole group of variants can be built.

The real subject

The Percival Prince was a postwar twin-engine high-wing monoplane with radial piston engines, a glazed nose and tricycle landing gear. It was created as a light transport and utility aircraft to carry a small group of passengers and their baggage, but it also found work with military and government operators, where it served on liaison and utility flights. The successive versions differed above all in their engines and cabin equipment.

Building and painting tips

Count on short-run technology: try the parts dry, sand the joints to a proper fit and clean the flash off the surfaces before gluing. The glazed nose is the dominant feature: it pays to work the cockpit interior out carefully, to mask the glazing thoroughly and to spray the frames in the interior shade first. A primer before painting will reveal whether the fuselage joints are clean. Spray a gloss varnish under the decals and unify the surface once you are done. Pick out the panel lines and the streaks under the engines with a restrained wash, so that the model does not look artificial.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of light transport and utility aircraft
  • Anyone interested in Australian and Commonwealth aviation
  • More experienced modelers used to short-run kits
  • Builders who will appreciate Czech kits of unusual subjects

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

FAQ

The Prince is the basic civil and utility version, the Sea Prince is the naval derivative for the Royal Navy. Both types are made as separate items.

Rather not. It is a short-run kit, where you have to reckon with reworking the joints and with more careful preparation of the parts.

The boxing is marked as Australian. Check the particular content of the decal sheet and the number of schemes on the packaging.
