Product Description

1:20 scale. This is a Balsa-wood model kit with a wingspan of 20". The first Beech designed airplanes appeared in the mid 1920?s and since that time the beach Aircraft Corporation has grown into a world notable enterprise. The all-metal, low wing, fixed gear Musketeer represented a major advancement in low cost commuter planes of its day. Designed with honeycomb wing construction and one piece stabilizer the Musketeer has the operating simplicity, handling ease and gentle stall characteristics that are the trademark of all Beechcraft airplanes. Skill level 2

This review is from: Guillows Beechcraft Musketeer Model Kit (Toy)

Guillows missed a bit on this model. They apparently felt that a Piper Cheroke and a Beech Musketeer were identical AND THEY'RE NOT. The wings and cowling in this kit are Cheroke parts. They did get the shape of the fuselage correct, but it looks all wrong with the Cherokee cowling in place. I had to make a new cowling with the Beech down and back sloping chin and the rectangular air inlets. The wing tips were totally the wrong shape, but easily fixed with the extra material included in the kit. But if you don't know what a Beech Musketeer looks like this is a typical Guillows kit; well engineered and fun to build (just not too accurate).
