Clear Prop – aircraft kits for discerning model builders
Clear Prop stands for modern aircraft models with an exceptional amount of detail, clean surface structure and well-thought-out parts layout. The focus is primarily on props and early jets in 1:72 and 1:48 scale from less common models to popular classics.
Typical for Clear Prop: excellently engraved panel lines, realistic rivet patterns and well-thought-out assembly sections that offer both ease of construction and building enjoyment. For diorama and painting enthusiasts, the kits provide a good basis for pre-shading, washes, chipping and the finest ageing effects.
Clear Prop a model kit success story
Within just a few years, Clear Prop has gone from being an insider tip to the favourite label of many aircraft model builders. The Ukrainian company is based in Kiev and was only founded in 2018. The brand consistently focuses on its own new kit developments rather than reissues of old kits with old moulds. The brand inspires model builders worldwide with a range of interwar aircraft, WWII props and early jet prototypes. This strategy has established Clear Prop in the scene as a quality brand that fills gaps in models and reinterprets well-known models at today's moulding level.
In the market environment, for example, the kits and accessories from Eduard and Arma Hobby complement the segment: Eduard is known for its perfectly fitting kits, photo-etched parts and paint masks; Arma Hobby supplies extremely precise 1:72 kits with lots of details. Together, they form a powerful combination for customising dioramas. Clear Prop kits well thought-out assembly with lots of details The strengths of the models lie in their depth of detail and well thought-out assembly. Many kits offer various optional parts (propeller/canopy variants, armament, tail details), fine clear parts and often PE accessories in the box. The fit is designed for dry pre-assembly, so that problem areas can be identified early on and worked on cleanly.
