And its in 1/72! Nice!  I could see on the box they also have other private jets in the product line.

I recently picked up this beautiful oddity from Hobby Terra in the Ukraine:

Develped in the 1980s, the Lear Fan unfortunately never received FAA certification due to problems with the twin engine/single gearbox system.

Amodel's kit is typical of their products, with low pressure injection molded parts that are done to a reasonable level.  Lots of clean-up and careful test fiting is the norm for this type of kit.  The trailing edges of the wings will need thinning.  The parts breakdown is sensible and unlike their Avanti, does not include a passenger cabin.  That's okay as you cannot see inside once the fuselage is closed up.

It's nice to see someone doing new kits of civil aircraft.  I'd like a Hansa Jet next please Amodel!
