 Piper
PA 38 Tomahawk II
 I
really love the look of this new model from Airsail
International of New Zealand. The first time I saw it mentioned
was in an advert for their UK distributor, Avalon Model Imports,
I think, but there was not a lot of detail and no mention of a
website to check it out. Now I've found the manufacturer's site,
the kit sounds even more attractive. |
