Description
This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.
Adapted from the Special Hobby website:
In 1932, Northrop followed his earlier successful cargo and mail types, the Alfa and Gamma, and designed a new one, named the Delta. It was an all-metal, single engined low-wing monoplane with fixed undercarriage covered in spats. The type was intended to be used on short domestic routes and was built in several versions, differing by their powerplant and also the shape of the pilot's cockpit canopy.
The first versions known as the Delta 1A, 1B and 1C, featured a narrow canopy housing only one pilot. The following versions, the 1D and 1E, had a wider cockpit for a crew of two, and also had a massive dorsal section of the fuselage.
Though the planes were not successful, in 1936, Canada bought licence rights, thus partially making up for Northrop's business failure. The Canadian machines were produced by Vickers company in versions Mk.I to Mk.III. While the Mk.I and Mk.II versions differed from their American predecessors only in details, the Mk.III featured a completely redesigned tail unit. Canadian Deltas saw service in a multitude of roles: they were used as photographic machines and for aerial survey. Following the outbreak of WWII they began also flying reconnaissance missions, anti-submarine patrols, and were also used for training purposes. Many of them were also fitted with a pair of floats or skis.
With this kit, you have the option to build one of two Delta Mk.II aeroplanes, or one Mk.III version which sported the new tail fin. The model comes on five grey injection moulded styrene sprues accompanied by one with clear parts sprue specific to this Canadian variety of the Delta.
