Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of the Czechoslovak light sporting aircraft Letov S-139, nicknamed Hadimrska, in 1:72 scale from Kovozavody Prostejov (KP). Like the related S-39 it is a parasol high-wing monoplane (a single wing above the fuselage on struts) rather than a biplane. KP kits tend to be short-run tooling; check the exact contents of the box against the manufacturer's part number of the item.
The S-139 was a development version of the S-39 type with the same layout of a two-seat parasol high-wing monoplane with fixed landing gear. The main difference is the powerplant: the S-139 was powered by a Pobjoy R radial engine complemented by a ring cowling (a Townend ring). The aircraft served for sporting and training flying in aero club operation. It is precisely the change of engine that distinguishes the S-139 from the original S-39 (with a Walter Polaris engine) and from the later S-239.
With short-run kits, expect fine flash to need cleaning up and locating pins possibly to be absent, so dry-fit the parts before gluing. Glue with liquid cement for plastic and pay attention to the alignment of the wing struts and the seating of the radial engine with its ring. It pays to assemble and paint the engine before closing the cowling. A primer, an airbrush and sealing the decals with a clear coat are recommended.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
