Default RE: The old Royal kits

Chevyowner:

The old Royal Kits were Maratuka Kits relabeled, and Maratuka is still producing. They are still available, Hobby barn I believe still carries them.


I am currently building their P-38 and be forwarned When you open the box it looks as if someone has cut down the rain forest and sent it to you.
Plans are good, Instruction manul works quite well for lighting the fire place, plan on building from the plans. The quality of the wood was very good considering the kit I have was shipped in the 80's. lots and lots of sticks and blocks of wood. Sorry I'm not familiar with the B-25 or Stuka Kits, but would expect them to be very much the same. cowlings and that sort of thing are available in fiberglass from a number of source's. If you decide to get in to this let us know here and many will answer ? and assist in anyway we can. Having built three or four Kits from trainer to say pattern or even stick bilt free flight would be of great assistance before attempting this. Not to say that it an impossible task but the experience will help.
