SAAB B-5 ‘Swedish Dive Bomber’ 1/72

The Northrop A-17 was a US dive bomber aeroplane which saw service not just with the USAAF but it also proved to be an export success in the pre-war era. A low-wing monoplane of modern all metal construction was operated by many nations, it was also licence-produced in Sweden, which had required the type to be fitted with the British Mercury power plant and ski undercarriage was to be the option, too, for flying in winter conditions.

   This kit has been created the same way as the original was, ie.by adapting the A-17 type. So, it contains resin parts, vacuum-formed canopy and two frets of etches (pre-coloured and a plain one) The decal sheets brings markings for three Swedish machines in various styles of camouflage patterns.

• Decals with three Swedish marking and colour options
• Contains resin parts, pre-coloured and plain etches
• Two styles of the undercarriage, with wheels and skis, both used on the type.
