Grumman Martlet Mk. I
« on: September 05, 2010, 09:54:23 AM »
Just some time ago AZ Model from Czech Republic has released new kit of the Grumman Martlet I. Kit stock number is AZ 7322 and scale is 1/72. Very good idea as well this early model was miss somehow and it present machine without folding wings. The same kit have two frets of injected plastic parts, one transparent, one resin engine, decal sheet and instruction. Art box is very good done and on the back is the camouflage pattern for the kit.
