Piaggio-Pegna PC-7 -SBS Model resin 1/72nd scale

 


This exquisite resin kit from SBS took very little time to build thanks to its high quality. It won't build itself, though, and as any good kit it also requires care, patience, and a modicum of experience. SBS continuous search for improvements and new approaches to kit-making is commendable, their casts impeccable, the level of detail high, and the engineering excellent. Their extensive line of racers and civil planes is a delight to watch and build. Unlike other renditions of this plane, it has the small step at the front of the windshield with a little clear pane like the original. The aftermarket availability of the wooden supports makes it easier for the modeler to present the model.

For a few notes please refer to the step-by-step building post:

For further material on the original plane, you may visit a previous build from another kit of AMP from Ukraine:

Yes, it's so beautiful that I build two! (although from different kits, to have some variety).

  1. What a magnificient plane, unlike anything else in it's day...if only it didn't have the damned fasces on it's flanks. This plane really is a testament to both human ingenuity and artistry but also human cruelty
