Dora Wings has made a name for itself by releasing plastic model kits of relatively obscure aircraft, like its new 1/48 scale Curtiss-Wright CW-21B. Frankly, Dora Wings’ approach is a welcome change to a world replete with P-51s and Bf 109s — not that there’s anything wrong with those. If you’re looking for something different to build, this kit is a good place to start. Curtiss-Wright CW-21Bs fought during World War II despite no armor or self-sealing gas tanks and were even captured and repurposed by the Japanese.

The Dora Wings box art displays a nice image of the CW-21B that’s good for color matching. The decal sheet has markings for three aircraft, and there is a mask for the canopy and landing lights. The 12-page instruction book contains 31 steps.
