Here is a very uncommon model kit from a quite unknown Czech company. 240 models of this autogyro were produced, autogyro which was a copy of the US Kellett KD-1A.

The decal sheet is really simple, nothing special to say, it looks good. Two paint scheme are possible, one simple, the other one from an unknown artillery unit more complex.

Instruction sheet is of 1quality paper sheet and but is not clear, for example the step fot the engine is simply forgotten, positioning the parts in the cockpit do not look simple. It concerns both the Ka-Go and the O-Go (other AZ Model ref).

Then we have:

• 1 plastic sprue. The brown plastic is soft, finely engraved.
• Photo etched parts with a rothoïd film for instrument panels
• Resin parts including very very delicate exhaust pipes

Conclusion: If you want something unusual, complete, then this is a choice. It looks as a good artisanal kit.

Be aware that this isn't the easiest kit to build.
