The Rutan Voyager was built in response to a major aviation challenge – to complete a flight around the globe without landing or refueling. In December 1986, pilots Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager took off and safely returned to California after their legendary flight, which lasted 9 days, 3 minutes, and 44 seconds. They covered a distance of over 40,000 km, making the Voyager a symbol of the possibilities of modern engineering, courage, and the drive to push boundaries.

The Sova model offers an exceptionally detailed cockpit, the characteristic twin-fuselage construction, and long, slender wings with an impressive wingspan. Assembly is facilitated by a precise instruction manual and a rich set of decals that allow an authentic recreation of the original livery. The model does not include resin or metal parts, making it affordable and suitable for a wide range of modelers.

We recommend this kit to all aviation modeling enthusiasts, fans of record-breaking achievements, and collectors of unconventional aircraft. With a moderate difficulty level (2/5), the model is suitable for both intermediate and ambitious beginner modelers.

The 1/72 scale Voyager will become a highlight of any collection and a perfect foundation for further modeling experience!
