Product Description
Kovozávody Prostějov KPM0544 - 1:72 Culver PQ-14TD2C ″Cadet″
Plastic kit of the American radio-controlled target aircraft Culver PQ-14 Cadet, used by the Navy under the designation TD2C-1.
Template information
The Culver PQ-14 Cadet was developed during World War II as an advanced radio-controlled unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for training anti-aircraft gunners and fighter pilots. The aircraft was developed from the civilian Culver LFA Cadet, which was equipped with a more powerful Franklin engine and modern retractable tricycle landing gear, allowing it to simulate fast and maneuverable targets. Although it was primarily controlled remotely from a "mother" aircraft or ground station, it also had a simple cockpit that allowed the pilot to safely fly the aircraft to a base or for test flights.
Most of these machines served with the USAAF, but over 1,200 units were also taken over by the US Navy, which used them under the designation TD2C-1 for training fleet defense against air attacks. The robust wooden structure with plywood covering was cheap to manufacture and durable enough for demanding operation, although most of the airframes were eventually destroyed during live fire. The kit from Kovozávodů Prostějov faithfully captures the compact shapes of this unconventional machine and offers the opportunity to build a unique piece of military unmanned aviation history.
