  Turkey Republic Day 2004 

 

The Siat Flamingo has been built as an sports, training and tourism airplane at 1938 with the name of SI-202 HUMMEL  and  won couple of competitions.  It’s construction was wooden and was two seater.  The Project  partly damaged, partly lost during the WW II.

15 airplanes bought by the THK (Turkish Air League) at 1969 .These planes  were successfully used as an trainers.  The Swissair, Spain, Syria, Iraq also used these planes  

The kit was PM model.  I enjoyed the building process much.  I built the out of the box version, but cut flaps, rudder
