PRSR72032 - Pro Resin 1/72 Temco TT-1 "Pinto" - WWHP113475

Preowned, Resealed, Mint

The Temco TT-1 Pinto started as a private venture, built to prove that a student pilot could begin flight training in a jet rather than working up through pistons. Temco engineered their Model 51 specifically for new pilots, and the US Navy bought a small evaluation batch as the TT-1 in the late 1950s, making it the first purpose built jet primary trainer to reach American service. The Navy ultimately went a different way, so only fourteen were built, and most survivors ended up on the civil register. It is an obscure aeroplane in an appealing trainer yellow scheme, and Pro Resin's 1/72 kit is one of the very few ways to build one.
