-This is a guide to a completely new mold kit 1/72 Kalinin K-7 from Micromill.
-The K-7 is a large bomber and commercial passenger aircraft prototyped at the Kalinin Design Bureau in the Soviet Union in the 1930s.
-When operating with civilian transport aircraft, the plan was to carry 120 passengers in a huge wing 53m wide and 2.33m thick.
-The fuselage had a tail wing supported by two booms and was equipped with landing gear consisting of huge four-axis wheels to support the weight.
-Initially, the development was started with six 700 hp water-cooled engines, but due to lack of power, a seventh engine was added to the center rear of the wing for propulsion.
-The design began in 1930, and a taxiing test was conducted in July 1933. The test made it difficult to vibrate, but flew for the first time in August 1933.
-However, during the flight in November that year, the tail boom was damaged and crashed, killing 15 crew members.
-Two aircraft began to be built, but the plan was canceled in 1935, and the design bureau was shut down in 1938 after the architect, Constantine Kalinin, was arrested and executed in 1938.
-In addition to 22 runners, the kit comes with FRP wings and etched parts, paint mask seals and one type of decal.
-When completed, it will be approximately 389mm long and 736mm wide.
