The Far King L Scale Model Company has released its latest kit – a 1: 21.5th reproduction of the strutless biplane: the Christmas Bullet. It is tipped to be every bit as successful as the prototype.
Modellers who are discouraged by other biplane kits will love the Bullet. The wings are cantilevered out over each other and the wooden skin of the fuselage means the colour scheme should be easy to paint – even with a brush.
The photos extant of the original Bullet before it crashed on the first flight are in monochrome but this just means a greater degree of freedom.
Objections to the scale chosen have been dismissed by the company as ” fake complaints “. The box the kit is packed in fits beautifully on a standard retail shelf and the wire-re-enforced teflon shrink wrapping means that the product can sit on that shelf for years if necessary. The buyer can download instructions on how to breach the wrapping and a simple hour with an angle grinder should be all that is needed.
Further models in the FKL lineup will include the Zeppelin HINDENBURG, the Vought Cutlass, and the North American Rockwell B-70.
