ABOUT THE DESIGN

ABOUT THE KIT

The TK.5 was an experimental monoplane prototype developed by the De Havilland aircraft company of Great Britain in the late 1930s.  Powered by a single rear-mounted D. H. Gipsy Major engine, the canard-style aircraft had an unusual butterfly-like main wing.  Unfortunately, the plane proved to be an utter failure; it never even got off the ground.  The project was cancelled in 1939.

This all-resin model from Dujin of France was released in 2004. As the original TK.5 was unmarked, the kit did not contain decals.

This model was built from an original issue.
