Product Description

--This is a guide to the new 1/48 General Aircraft 48 Hot Spur Mk.II from the special hobby resin kit brand Planet Model.
--Hot Spur is a military glider designed and manufactured by General Aircraft Limited in the United Kingdom during World War II.
--The British army witnessed the successful DFS 230 of the German army used in the 1940 Battle of Fort Eben-Emar, and decided that an assault by a transport glider was an effective means, and made a small invasion of General Aircraft. Directed the development of the glider.
--The small hot spar was judged to be a hindrance to operational operations because only eight troops could be on board, and the British Ministry of Aviation decided to change the aircraft from invasion to training glider pilots, and changed the main wing length. A redesigned model with a smaller size and a larger windshield has been adopted as the Hot Spur Mk.II.
--The transport glider pilots such as Airspeed Horsa and General Aircraft Hamilcar, which were used in the actual battle after that, were trained by training using this aircraft, and were very active in the Allied counteroffensive operation in the latter half of the war.
――This full resin kit comes with a vacuum canopy, a transparent resin window and two types of decals.
--The ground legs are made of white metal.
