Responsibility details are not available.
The kit from the Ukrainian maker Amodel, part number 72380, brings one of the most widespread modern twin-engine trainers into 1:72 scale. It is a short-run injection-molded plastic model; the package holds plastic sprues including a clear one, a decal sheet and a painting diagram. Amodel releases the DA42 in several forms: 72291, 72357 and 72374 as the MPP Guardian surveillance version, 72376 as the DA42 VI and 72242 as the DA-42MNG. Check which version you want.
The DA42 Twin Star comes from the Austrian firm Diamond Aircraft and first flew in December 2002; it entered service in 2004 as the first new European light twin in more than twenty-five years. It has all-composite construction, a slender wing, four seats and above all diesel engines burning Jet A-1 aviation kerosene — which is why it became such a favorite with flight schools. The first batches flew with Thielert Centurion engines, later ones with Austro engines. It has also found use as a carrier of surveillance equipment.
The hardest parts are the large glossy white areas: on white every seam shows, so fill and sand the fuselage and the nacelles and lay the white on in thin coats over a light base coat. Glue the wing and the slender landing gear on a flat surface and paint the interior before you fit the glazing. Sharp color stripes are better sprayed through a mask.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
