Product Description
We are pleased to announce the 1/72 scale full resin kit Boulton Paul P.111A from CMR (Czech Master Resin) of the Czech Republic.
The P.111 was a delta wing prototype designed and built by Boulton Paul in the UK to study the characteristics of tailless delta wing structures.
First flying in 1950, the P.111 was designed with the concept of fitting a Rolls-Royce Nene centrifugal jet engine and a Martin-Baker ejection seat into the smallest possible airframe, resulting in a unique appearance with a wide fuselage and an oval engine intake in the nose.
The aircraft's main wings are delta wings with a 45-degree sweepback angle, and tests were conducted at a minimum width of 7.82 m without wingtip extensions and a maximum width of 10.21 m with one of two types of wingtip extensions.
After an emergency landing during testing, the aircraft was redesigned with air brakes to reduce landing speed, improved landing gear, and a longer pitot tube in the nose.
Therefore, the P.111 was renamed P.111A to distinguish it from the aircraft before the accident.
The P.111A was painted entirely yellow and was nicknamed Yellow Peril (yellow danger).
The kit includes a vacuum canopy, Eduard color etched parts and one type of decal.
When completed, the total length will be approximately 110mm (excluding the pitot tube) and the total width will be approximately 109mm.
