Post by: learstang on September 06, 2011, 06:11:38 PM Almost certainly a re-kit of the old KP kit, unless Avis got a hold of the ICM mould for their new kit! Interestingly, it depicts the very same individual PO-2 shown on the ICM site, although with a white "12" instead of ICM's yellow "12".

http://sovietwarplanes.com/board/index.php?topic=925.0 (http://sovietwarplanes.com/board/index.php?topic=925.0) It seems to be a bad copy of KP kit which has added all parts for Limusin (spine and cowling), hydro version (standard fuselage with big central and two small wing floats) and streacher pods. I know that among other firms Modelist was producing it some time ago. IOM kit parts and decals are pictured on this site: http://www.hobby.dn.ua/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=214&products_id=59132&osCsid=chpsn4bh2lps6ss087emdjrrc4 (http://www.hobby.dn.ua/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=214&products_id=59132&osCsid=chpsn4bh2lps6ss087emdjrrc4) Worth buying if for nothing more for its additional parts. AFAIK it is the only kit with parts for limusin and hydro version. I got one and will now have to buy some new ICM kits when they are available. Title: Re: Avis 1/72 Po-2? Whaaaa? Post by: learstang on September 10, 2011, 11:39:24 PM Thank you for the information, TISO! I'm looking forward to the ICM kit also. Perhaps if it's successful they'll come out with additional versions.
