1/72 Bu-133 C Green Stripe

Description

This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.

From the manufacturer:

The Bucker Bu 133 Jungmeister was an advanced trainer of the Luftwaffe in the 1930s. It was a single-engine, single-seat biplane of wood and tubular steel construction, covered in fabric. The Bu 133 was a development of the Bucker Bu 131 Jungmann two-seat basic trainer.

First flown in 1935 (by Luise Hoffmann, the first female works pilot in Germany), it was slightly smaller than the Bu 131. The prototype, D-EVEO, was powered by a 140hp (104kw) Hirth HM506 inverted air-cooled inline-6 engine. The aircraft showed “astonishing ability” at its first public appearance, the 1936 International Aerobatic Championship at Rangsdorf, but the Bu 133A garnered no orders; only two Bu 133Bs, with 160hp (119kw) versions of that same Hirth HM506 inline-6 engine, were built.

This kit of the Bucker-133 C “Green Stripe” includes decals for 5 versions and a resin part.
