Full Resin kit with some Plastic rod and messing detail parts and Decals for some civil Pander E's 

There is a choice of 2 cockpit bays and 3 landing gear configurations. Decals for 15 versions

Elaborate instructions included.

The kit is a fully new kit.

Please note that this is a labour of love and only about 30 kits will be made for resale. If the moulds can handle it we might make some more but when the moulds are gone it is over.

The Pander E was the first indigenous Dutch training aircraft, used by clubs and also privately owned. A two-seat, single-engine biplane, 17 were built in the Netherlands from 1926 with engines of increasing power.

One of the first public appearances of the Pander E first prototype was at the Coupe Zenith, held on 4 July 1926, where it was placed fourth. It was destroyed in a fatal crash less than a month later. Nonetheless, the Rotterdam Aero Club (RAC) placed an initial order for two, received in 1927, and another the following year; these were the first Dutch aircraft used for training. For financial reasons they set up the National Aviation School (NLS) and in 1929 transferred their three aircraft, all ECs with the 60 hp (33 kW) five-cylinder engine, to the NLS. Between then and 1932 the NLS received four more new aircraft from Pander, all 85 hp (63 kW), seven-cylinder powered EFs. In 1930 they acquired a previously privately owned EC and in 1932 a privately owned Gipsy-powered EG. The Dutch East Indies Flying Club bought two EGs, and there were five other individually owned examples, one EF and three EGs.
