Eduard's 1/72 scale Czech Air Force will
be available online from Squadron.com
This kit follows on from Eduard’s 1/48 scale series of pilots and ground
crew as their first figure set in 1/72 scale. Eduard’s 1/48 scale series
have been excellent and this 1/72 scale kit is no different.
Six figures are provided in different poses and uniforms. Two these are
aircrew.
One of the are crew figures with his flight helmet on is performing
typical pilot talk mimicking a dogfight with his hands while the other
bareheaded aircrew is listening intently with his helmet tucked under
his arm.

The ground crew are in various poses, one is crouching in a pose that
looks like he could be inspecting the undercarriage or ground support
equipment. Two others are in standing poses and look as they though they
are conversing or inspecting parts of the aircraft, while the last
ground crewman is taking notes on a note pad.
The mouldings are crisp with very little moulding flash. There is a mix
of personnel with bare heads, while others have caps in place. The
moulding of the facial features for 1/72 scale is excellent.
There are 34 parts to make up the six figures.
Highly recommended for all levels of modeller skill.
Thanks to Eduard for the sample
