This is a nice kit from Dekno Models of a cute and charming subject, a small light duty passenger plane (the original of which would have benefited from losing a pound or two at the waste). Dekno offers at the moment another boxing for Palestine Airways, the first Israeli air line of the then British-controlled Palestine, covering flights inside what would eventually become the State of Israel (Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem and Lydda –present Lod).

The kit built relatively quickly and with no major issues, but it requires a modeler with a modicum of experience. Dekno continues to improve and to offer interesting subjects, to the satisfaction of keen civil modelers.

  1. What an unusual-looking multi' not only does the Dekno kit look lie a very good one, but you have also made significant improvements, as is your norm. That Pobjoy certainly was an unusual engine, but adds to the appeal. Outstanding silver dope finish, and the large red registration really stands out. Well done!
