Product Description

Seagull can always be relied on to pick interesting scale subjects to model and the Bucker Bu-133 Jungmeister is no exception. An advanced trainer of the Luftwaffe in the 1930s, the Jungmeister was a single-engine, single-seat biplane of wood and tubular steel construction and covered in fabric.

Beautifully built from lightweight laser-cut balsa and ply parts then expertly covered with Oracover in this distinctive scale scheme belonging to the restored aircraft flown by Romanian Alex Panapa during the 1936 Olympics. Supplied complete with a full hardware pack, fuel tank, wheels etc. the model features a lightweight, factory painted woven fibreglass cowl and wheel covers. Scale touches include the pre-formed wire undercarriage, steerable tailwheel, characteristic rigging wires, cockpit instrument panel and pilot.
