Special Hobby 72471 1/72 Blue bird on a long flight over Europe Africa and Asia (Aero Ab-11 L-BUCD)

The Aero A-11 was amongst the best Czechoslovak-made aircraft of the 1920s. No wonder then that the type was chosen by the crew of Stabni Kapitan (Sqn/L) Stanovsky and his mechanic Simek for their long distance flight around Europe, North Africa and the Middle East which took place in May and June 1926. For its distinctive colour, their machine was aptly named The Blue Bird. Now it gives us really big pleasure to replicate this important piece of Czech aviation history and release the model kit of the Aero A-11 biplane even though only in a limited series.

The kit contains two styrene sprues, one clear sprue with a pair of windscreens and a sheet of decals and detailed instructions – Digital version available here
