American “Flying Tigers“ Over China, Part II

Two injection-moulded kits are supplied in this box and each kit contains 29 parts and one clear part (the cockpit canopy).

A comprehensive instruction leaflet and a decal sheet are included. The rear side of the box now comprises the representation of a tarmac section of a military airfield which can be cut out and used as a display base for the assembled model.

NOTE: these kits were re-designed and new masters were made. The cockpit canopies were 3D designed and made by injection moulding into a metal mould.
