Product Description
We are pleased to announce a new 1/72 scale aircraft kit from Avis of Ukraine. This kit features newly molded parts and reproduces the M.23c with a canopy and Argus As-8 engine.
The Messerschmitt M.23 is a two-seater sports aircraft from the 1920s, designed by German aircraft designer Willy Messerschmitt.
In Europe at that time, aircraft engine manufacturers themselves independently organized air races in order to showcase their technological capabilities, in which only aircraft equipped with their own engines competed.
Willy Messerschmitt's company, Bavarian Aircraft Works (BFW), designed the M.23, which could be equipped with various engines, to compete in races held by different engine manufacturers. By participating in multiple races, they won numerous prestigious competitions.
The kit we are offering today replicates the M.23c equipped with the Argus As-8 engine, and the included markings are for the aircraft flown by Fritz Mozik, who later became a commander in the German Air Force transport units, and who won the first and second Challenge 1930 International Touring Aircraft Competitions consecutively.
