Additional Details
Just click on any of the above web sites to contact the manufacturer. Resin companies are usually small, in-house operations that really need your support. Each purchase you make from them helps to insure the continued existance of our hobby.
As many of you may know, resin manufacturer's are often the only source to find those rare, hard-to-find, one-of-a-kind kits. This is the reason why so many kits are short-run and often not repeated after a certain number or specified time period.

The Pitciarn PCA-2 autogyro was from what many consider the Golden Age for propellor aircraft. The PCA-2 held two people, the pilot in the rear seat and passenger in the front. Powered by a Wright R-975-J6-9, 330 hp/250 kW radial engine, the PCA-2 could travel at 120 mph/190 kph. Being an autogyro this type of aircraft could take off on a much shorter runway and hover similar to a helicopter. Unlike a helicopter, the rotor-wings were not powered in flight, save on take-off. Otherwise the PCA-2 was dependent upon the tractor propellor to pull it through the air.
Currently the Pitciarn is done in 1/72 resin by LF Models. It was also done in plastic in 1/48 and 1/87 by the Williams Bros. In the example for the photograph the engine has been upgraded and the colors are in a fanciful version for Wells Fargo.

During the Second World War while Nazi Germany was throwing the Fiesler F-103 V-1 Wotan and Mittelwerk GmbH A-4/V-2 at London and Imperialist Japan was working on the Yokosuka MXY7 Types-11, 22, 33 and 43 Ohka (cherry blossom) human suicide aircraft, the USA was experimenting with similar concepts. One was the American Northrop JB-1A Bat Bomb powered by two General Electric B1 axial-flow turbojets like the Northrop JB-1 Jeep. The main difference was that the Jeep was a piloted aircraft and the Bat Bomb was just that, a flying, pilotless, winged bomb.
The only kit for this aircraft is made in 1/72 by Muroc Models. Paint color is olive drab.
