Title: Curtiss XP-55 Ascender, MPM, 1/72, 1992
Post by: Jicehem on October 13, 2015, 04:54:17 PM

Hello,

An experimental plane which was a part of "non conventional aircraft" programm comprising P-54, P-55, P-56. None was retained for mass production because it was considered it was better to keep what was already produced, such as P-47 and P-51.
The MPM kit issued in 1992 has some inaccuracies which demand to be corrected... It is not easy to build.
