Kit Review
This is once again the kit previously marketed by RV Aircraft, although tooled by AZ Model/Legato. Its is now in AZ's KP range with new canopies and additional plastic parts.Again it should be noted that this is very much limited-run in many ways, not least of which being no locating pins etc. You get the same two medium grey-coloured and one clear sprue as was in the Si 204D with no photo-etched or resin parts. All our other comments about the Si 204D apply here, as for all intense and purposes, this is the same kit with different parkings 

Colour Options
There are three schemes in the kit.
• A typical French Air Force example, with no data on unit/location etc.
• 'Black 6' of the Polish Air Force, again with no details of unit, location or date
• SE-KAM operated in Sweden in the 1950s.
All colours are listed by Humbrol and Agama paint codes. The decal sheet is beautifully printed, but there are no airframe stencils included.

Conclusion
This is a nice looking kit and as long as you can deal with the type of product it is, then I am sure it will build well. It is not suitable for, nor intended for, the novice or inexperienced modeller.
