Dick Montgomery Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Thanks for the reply. I'm wondering, though, why it would be Frog/Novo when the box top lettering appears to be in Cyrillic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveDeLang Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Thanks for the reply. I'm wondering, though, why it would be Frog/Novo when the box top lettering appears to be in Cyrillic? Novo is/was a Russian company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Filippone Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 The Wallace was one of a series of "record breaking " aircraft kitted by Frog. This particular aircraft was modified from a standard Westland Wallace as the P.V.6 for the overflight of Everest. Other kits in the series included the Vimy distance record setter ( hence no gun positions), the Bristol 138 altitude record setter, and the Fairey Delta 2. While admittedly crude by modern standards, I always felt Frog deserved a lot of credit for manufacturing kits of unusual aircraft-and they usually fit together pretty well.
