Bucker Bü181B/Sk 25 Bestmann ‘WWII Trainer’

 The Bücker Bü 181 Bestmann was chosen in 1939 as the standard Luftwaffe trainer aircraft. It saw service as a trainer throughout the war and at its end the type also saw combat use as a light bomber or tank-busting aircraft. Due to this and also to Swedish license and post-war Czechoslovak and Egyptian production, the type achieved considerable expansion and fame. Most Bückers flew well into the 1950s and some still fly as veterans today.

   We offered the kit of this interesting aircraft under the catalog number SH48120. However, the kit was sold out and the fuselage tooling was damaged during the re-molding. As a result, the kit was not available for a long time. It also took a long time because we made not only a new fuselage mould from modified 3D files, but also another shape with different engine variants. These versions will be available for sale gradually. Now we offer you the kit SH48173 with decals for Luftwaffe and Swedish Flygvapnet aircraft. The parts are broken down into four sprues of grey plastic and one sprue of clear parts. The kit also includes photo-etched parts and 3D prints. The decals include two Luftwaffe training aircraft and one very colourful Swedish licensed Sk 25.
