CMK 1/48 CMK Palouste Mk.101/102 Jet Air Starter Trolleys and Airborne Pod Resin

The Palouste starter was used for starting up aircraft jet engines by means of high pressure and high velocity air generated by a small turbine located inside the trolley pod. The turbine was housed inside a unique-shaped pod resembling a drop fuel tank. No wonder the Palouste could also be airborne, carried on underwing pylons, thus enabling to service RAF, FAA or even US Navy warplanes at auxiliary, ill-equipped airfields. A set of detachable wheels was used to facilitate moving the starter across the field. The set also contains a photo-etched fret and a sheet of decals. A large access panel in the rear section of the pod can be posed open.
