Cambrian Models

All these kits are classic vintage designs which have been revised to accommodate modern radio equipment without changing the original outline. Where necessary, some parts have been strengthened in order to bear the increased stresses. All balsa and ply parts are hand crafted for an accurate fit and all strip wood is carefully selected. Kit contents also include pre-formed wire parts, control snakes, clevises, horns and a revised full sized, rolled plan which shows the radio installation.
