1/144 Percival PROVOST T.1 / T.53 British trainer - Miniwings



1/144 Percival PROVOST T.1 / T.53  British trainer - Miniwings

A nice little injected plastic key of a classic british trainer, up to the usual sminiwings standards. You will note some of the fine details on this release - of particular note is the quality of the canopy and how thin the glazing is for such a small piece in this scale!

Two kits are provided in this boxed edition

During the 1950s, the Provost was developed for the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a replacement for the Percival Prentice. The Provost was an all-metal, single-engined, two-seat monoplane, featuring fixed conventional landing gear with a fully-castering tailwheel. It was developed to provide training that was better-suited to the increasingly-complicated operational aircraft that were then being brought into service. The main two seats in the cockpit were positioned in a side-by-side configuration, enabling the instructor to sit directly alongside the student, easing training by allowing for mutual close observation and for flight procedures to be more readily demonstrated; a third seat had been originally specified for use by an observer, but this position was later omitted following little use.[6] The cockpit was considered to be relatively bulky amongst its contemporary rivals, a feature that did not heavily impinge upon the aircraft's overall performance.[3] The type was designed to be easy to maintain; various components were intentionally interchangeable where possible and there was a generous provision of access hatches in the fuselage.
