The plastic model kit Arma Hobby 70003 TS-11 Iskra bis DF - Expert set 1/72 is an excellent choice for demanding modelers seeking a high-quality replica of the Polish TS-11 Iskra bis DF jet trainer aircraft. The model is made in the popular 1:72 scale, which allows for a detailed final result while maintaining comfort of work on a small workspace.

• Scale: 1/72
• Country of use: Poland (Polish Air Force)
• Period of use: Modern times (the TS-11 served from the 1960s; the bis DF version was used until the 2010s)
• Material: high-quality plastic; the set also includes photo-etched metal parts and masks for precise painting of the canopy and landing gear wheels

TS-11 Iskra is the first completely Polish-designed jet trainer aircraft, created by Tadeusz Sołtyk's team in the 1950s and 60s. It became the backbone of military pilot training in Poland and was also exported to India. The TS-11 Iskra bis DF version was an advanced variant adapted for training and light combat missions, equipped, among others, with unguided rocket launchers.

The Arma Hobby 70003 set offers the possibility to build one of four different variants, authentically represented with decals and finish details. Innovative photo-etched elements enhance the cockpit interior and canopy details, while masks greatly facilitate precise painting of the most challenging parts of the model. Movable flaps and optional armament make this model exceptionally realistic.
