Product Overview:
This item is an injection-plastic jet aircraft model kit. 86 parts. 31cm long when completed. |
Still, Trumpeter has seen fit to give us a kit of this airplane, so those interested in obscure types or Chinese aviation can fill a hole in their collections with a kit from a mainstream manufacturer! Molded in gray plastic, this kit resembles an Italeri release. Panel lines are recessed and perhaps a bit heavy. Cockpit detail is very basic, consisting of a tub, aft bulkhead, two non-descript seats and control sticks, and instrument panels with an entire 5 gauges molded in. Perhaps Chinese pilots don't need anything more than airspeed, altitude, attitude, heading and fuel indicators....
Also included are 3 drop tanks, 2 AAMs and 2 ASMs. Control surfaces are molded separately. Decals are included for one aircraft, but extra numbers mean you could assemble your own numbers to build a different aircraft if you wish. The instructions call for an overall silver scheme, but photos suggest either light gray or white.
