The Saiman 200 was an Italian all-wood primary trainer first flown in 1938. More than 100 were built, and it was used throughout the war as the primary training aircraft of the Italian Army. Several were impressed in German usage, and a few were also captured and used by the Allies. Indeed, this model has both Italian and US markings. The kit itself is a high-quality injected plastic model, with injected clear windscreens. The level of detail is very high, cockpit sidewall detail is molded into the fuselage halves, the instrument panels have recessed instrument faces and all the struts are sharp and crisp. Highly recommended for those who like biplanes, or trainers, or any modeler, really. It's just that good.
