Special Hobby 72351 Delta Mk. II/ III RCAF 1/72 – Plastic Aircraft Model Kit

Special Hobby 72351 Delta Mk. II/ III RCAF is a unique 1/72 scale model kit depicting a Canadian transport aircraft used by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). This set transports the modeller to the turbulent 1930s, the interwar period, when aviation was undergoing rapid development. The Delta Mk. II/ III model is based on the original aircraft manufactured by the Canadian company Noorduyn. This aircraft was renowned for its outstanding performance in harsh weather conditions and versatile usability – it served both for transporting equipment and supplies to the far North, as well as for rescue missions and mail delivery.

Delta Mk. II and Mk. III operated mainly between 1936-1945, earning a reputation as reliable aircraft that effectively supported the operations of the Canadian Air Force in Canada’s challenging landscapes and severe weather. These planes found application during polar expeditions and rescue missions in northern Canada and the Arctic.

The Special Hobby kit is a high-quality plastic assembly set featuring precisely replicated details of the fuselage, wings, and characteristic cockpit elements. The manufacturer has ensured the inclusion of accurate decals matching the original RCAF livery. The kit is designed for intermediate and advanced modellers – we rate the assembly difficulty as 3 out of 5, mainly due to the need for precise assembly and painting of lights and clear parts.
