Delta 1C Over Spain
Kit No: FR0033
Scale: 1/72
Type: Injection Moulded Plastic
Manufacturer: Frrom-Azur Hannants/UMM-USA
Northrop Corporation was founded in1932 and became a pioneer of stressed skin metal aircraft construction with the Gamma mail plane and subsequently the larger passenger carrying Delta. The Delta is thus an aircraft of some significance to the aviation industry, not least because Douglas then purchased Northrop and soon after the DC-2 was born and we all know where that led, but as no one airframe was the same and the interest in pre-war airliners amongst the modelling fraternity is what you might call cultish, that probably goes some way to explain why until now there has not been an injection moulded model of this important aircraft. Thankfully Frrom-Azur have decided there is a way it can be done and this is evident in both the breakdown and content of the sprues. This set of sprues is for c/n 7 in 1934 and the only 1C constructed but there are a host of interesting parts left over once construction is complete, including alternative wheel fairings, a machine gun, various DF loops and aerials, a three blade prop, etc. Initially c/n 7 went to a Swedish airline, AB Aero, and plied various routes out of Copenhagen until it was acquired by an Iraqi citizen who appears to have passed it on in some capacity to the Spanish Republicans, which brings us to the period covered by this boxing.
