Interesting conversion. I hated it because of what it did to such a classic airframe, and took those away. It was pretty cool, though.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

I have the A&A King Air 200 in 1/72 and the Yak-23UTI in 1/48. In the box I would say they are high end limited run. The 200 looks great for accuracy and that's an airplane I know pretty well. I understand they are related to Modelsvit. I hope they fit better that what I have heard about Modelsvit kits.

Early Modelsvit kits are hit or miss. The newer stuff is not shake and bake but is alot better

If it looks like a DC-3 or a BT-67, it’s a C-47… :whistle: :giggles:

As John said, it's a high end limited run company from Ukraine. I have their Hawk 200 in the stash - it looks okay, but a little roughly moulded in places and lots of flash. Nothing I'm sure you can't handle.

That's assuming they haven't just used someone else's DC-3/C-47 kit as a base though.
