The Aircraft

The IAR-823 is a civil and military trainer aircraft built in Romania from 1974 until 1983. It is a conventional low-wing monoplane with retractable tricycle undercarriage. The pilot and instructor sit side-by-side, and two more seats can be fitted behind them. The type was adopted by the Romanian Air Force as a primary trainer and was also supplied to Romanian and Hungarian aeroclubs and the national flying school of Angola.

The Model

Enjoy this lovely model of the IAR 823! As with my others it features a windmilling propeller, moveable flaps, ailerons, elevators, and rudder. As with the others, you shouldn't need glue, but if you're like me and will be playing with it, at the very least, glue the horizontal stabilizers. Functioning hinges require 0.2mm layer height.
