About product

The Avro Cierva C.30A, civilian service (1:35, MiniArt)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Avro Cierva C.30A autogyro in the unusual aviation scale of 1:35 from the manufacturer MiniArt, executed in civil form. The kit is richly broken down, holds photo-etched parts, clear glazing and openable cabin doors; the decals cover several machines. The fineness of the molding matches the habits of the manufacturer.

The real subject

The Cierva C.30A is an autogyro, not a helicopter. Its lifting surface is formed by a freely turning rotor above the fuselage, which spins of its own accord under the oncoming airflow (autorotation), while the thrust is provided by a conventional propeller at the front. The machine was designed by Juan de la Cierva and built under license by the British company Avro. In the 1930s it was among the most widespread autogyros and it flew in civil and in other service. The rotor and its mounting are exactly what is visually crucial.

Building and painting tips

The rotor head and the rotor blades are the most exposed part; assemble them carefully and watch the symmetry of the blades. Glue the photo-etched parts with super glue and the plastic with thin modeling cement. Protect the glazing with a mask. Apply a primer before painting; civil schemes tend to be more colorful than military ones, so an airbrush and masking of the color fields pay off.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors of interwar and pioneering aviation equipment.
  • For lovers of unusual machines, because an autogyro is a rarity.
  • For more experienced modelers, because of the fine etched parts and the rotor.
  • For a collection in the collector scale of 1:35.

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

FAQ

An autogyro is an aircraft whose lifting surface is formed by a freely turning rotor above the fuselage. The rotor spins of its own accord under the oncoming airflow (autorotation) and carries the aircraft, while the forward thrust is provided by an ordinary propeller. Unlike a helicopter, the rotor is not driven by the engine.

No. It is an autogyro: the rotor is not driven by the engine and spins by itself under the oncoming airflow. At the front it has a conventional tractor propeller.

Rather for more experienced modelers. The kit holds fine photo-etched parts and a sensitive assembly of the rotor that calls for care.
