Dora Wings

Dora Wings is an aircraft model kit manufacturer based in Dnipro, Ukraine. The company produces plastic aircraft models in 1/32, 1/48, 1/72 and 1/144 scales. Its main focus is on less common aircraft from aviation history, including military fighters, experimental designs and aircraft from earlier periods. Dora Wings designs and manufactures its kits in Dnipro, with an emphasis on historical research and detailed model parts.

Rare and Historic Aircraft Models

Dora Wings focuses on aircraft that are less commonly represented in scale model collections.

One example is the Vultee Vengeance MkI/IA, an American dive bomber from World War II. The aircraft was built by Vultee Aircraft and operated by the Royal Air Force, Royal Australian Air Force and Indian Air Force in Southeast Asia and the Southwest Pacific.

The United States did not use the Vengeance operationally. However, the A-31 remained with United States units until 1945, mainly serving as a target tug.

Dora Wings lists the Vultee Vengeance in 1/72 and 1/48 scale versions.

These models give builders a way to explore an aircraft that had different roles with several military air forces.

Other Aircraft in the Range

The Dora Wings catalog includes several other military and aviation subjects.

Its listed aircraft models include:

• Beaver AL.1 DHC-2 Army Liaison Aircraft in 1/48 scale
• Vultee P-66 Vanguard in 1/48 scale
• Noorduyn UC-64A Norseman in 1/72 scale
• Republic P-47C-2 Thunderbolt assembled model in 1/48 scale
• Curtiss Wright SNC-1 assembled model in 1/48 scale
• Curtiss Wright CW-21A Demonstrator assembled model in 1/48 scale
• Curtiss Wright CW-21B Interceptor assembled model in 1/48 scale

The selection includes liaison aircraft, fighters and other aircraft types.

For aviation model builders, this provides subjects beyond the more frequently represented military aircraft.

Model Kit Design and Details

Dora Wings uses CAD/CAM technology to design its aircraft kits.

The company focuses on surface details such as recessed panel lines and textures that represent the original aircraft.

Many kits include photo-etched metal parts. These are used for smaller details, including cockpit components and exterior features.

Most releases also include pre-cut canopy masks and decals.

The company designs its models with both detail and assembly in mind. Its kits are intended for people who enjoy working on individual aircraft components.

Ukrainian Model Manufacturing

Dora Wings designs and produces its kits in Dnipro, Ukraine.

For pilots and aviation fans, Dora Wings provides models of aircraft that may receive less attention in other collections. Its selection is especially relevant to people interested in unusual aircraft, military history and detailed scale modelling.
