Engine Doctor Posted April 28, 2024 Share Posted April 28, 2024 That looks like A Pilot kit from the 80's ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J D 8 - Moderator Posted April 28, 2024 Share Posted April 28, 2024 I think there was a "retro plan" for this style of model produced quite recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Colbourne Posted April 28, 2024 Share Posted April 28, 2024 Its reminiscent of the VMAR Stiletto ARTF from the mid 1990s, however I can't find a picture of one anywhere. It is also similar to the Phil Kraft Kwik Fli series, although the Mk3 which is the only one I can find pictured has the rudder all the way to the bottom of the fuselage, as one would expect for a pattern model.

Andy Stephenson Posted April 29, 2024 Share Posted April 29, 2024 If it's a Vmar Stiletto, it's been recovered. I personally don't think it is one, I had one a while ago and the shape doesn't look right. More views would be helpful because a profile doesn't tell you much.

Frank Day Posted April 30, 2024 Share Posted April 30, 2024 May be a slight variation in the models timeline but pretty certain, everything else looks identical inc blue painted area behind the canopy, as shown on the packaging but not on the model looks to be same length and shade.

J D 8 - Moderator Posted April 30, 2024 Share Posted April 30, 2024 Wings held on by band's is another variation. Still think model is from a retro plan of 70's type aerobatic model that came with mag in recent years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
