Martin Decarli has completely re-created his Cessna Caravan kit to include two military variations and his popular civil variant which includes the additional cargo compartment often referred to as the 'trunk'. This kit has all the usual attention to detail that Martin is known for as well as improved flight controls and instrument panel. This is a Resin model airplane kit. The kit is crafted and designed with simplicity and accuracy in mind. While the resin and polyurethane kit differs from plastic models in both technique and adhesives it is simple enough that anyone with modest model building skills can complete a model they can be proud of. Part of the reason for the ease of construction is the unique polyurethane windscreen and window section. Many other resin kits have vacu-formed or acetate clear parts that can prove tricky but Martin's clear polyurethane components assemble like any other part of the kit. Simply use a quick bonding adhesive like 'Super Glue' and, if you're so inclined, apply filler to smooth any imperfections. Some care must be exercised when removing casting blocks which are essentially the "sprues" of resin kits. The blocks can be a bit bulky compared to plastic sprues and may be attached across a larger area of the pieces. A razor saw or knife may be needed to prevent damaging the piece it is attached to. Some light sanding will likely be required to achieve a perfect fit. Marking variants include the Chadian Air Force RC-208B, the Iraqi AC-208B Combat Caravan, and the C-208B Super Cargomaster operated by Fedex worldwide. Also included in kits purchased from us is a copy of the instruction sheet for the original Iraqi AC-208B kit. Martin's use of polyurethane for the canopy not only accommodates ease of assembly but also opens up even more possibilities as a passenger variant with or without the trunk. The inclusion of third party or custom decals/markings make the options in this kit virtually boundless. Whether your interest in the 208B series of the renowned Cessna Caravan is military, civilian, or just general aviation this is a great kit. It's produced in small quantities and turn around time to the US can be lengthy so get it while you can. The wait time for a subsequent production run is usually several months. Shop around, we are certain you will find that our prices after shipping to anywhere in the US are competetive with anyone else in the world if not better. If you find a better price with shipping to the US included let us know. We are the only US seller at present. We have been working with Martin for a couple of years now in a relationship that started from an interest in his Iraqi Air Force AC-208B kit. I flew with an Iraqi Air Force crew and their US instructor in 2008 on the Combat Caravan bearing the tail number Y1 111 which Martin graciously included in this kit. Please feel free to contact us with questions regarding this, or any other Decarli Model kit and please see our other items for sale.
