Aircraft Modeling / Griffon 1/72

« on: March 18, 2006, 07:01:41 PM »

There is one interesting kit of the Nord Griffon test plane. Model is made by Airmodel from Germany and main parts are vacuu form and the small part are epoxy resin casted. Cockpit canopy is clear vacuu form. Instruction is made on two sheet paper, one with basic instruction and the other one with technical drawings and paint scheme. No decal included. Kit is correct in shape while some of the panels have to be rescribed.

Preturao sam po USAF Material Command al nikako da nadjem. Mada imam utisak da je ista kao prethodna samo da je hemija druga.

As I could see there is much of similarity with the much later design of F-16... Frnech designers are very advanced in the time!

Very attractive plane with mixed power of ram jet and turbo jet engine. Interesting is that Yugoslavia had some interest in this plane and technology and much data regarding to the ram jet power was supply to Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia try to develope ram jet powered helicopter and ram jet recce platform [ with speed of over 700 km/h].
