Mikro-Mir 1/48 Hunting Provost T.51/53 Armed Version

The Hunting Provost T.1 (another designation: Percival P.56 Provost) was a British low-wing training aircraft from the post-war period. The prototype flight took place in 1953. Serial production continued until 1956. About 460 aircraft of this type were built in its course. The drive was provided by a single engine Alvis Leonides 126 with 550 hp. The length of the aircraft was 8.73 meters with a wingspan of 10.7 meters. In versions Mk. 52 and Mk. The 53 deck armament consisted of two 7.62 mm machine guns.

The Provost T.1 aircraft was developed by Hunting Aircraft as a new basic machine for initial and basic training of the British Air Force. The engineer of Polish origin, Henry Millicer (actually: Henryk Kazimierz Millicer), was responsible for its design. The machine replaced the Hunting Prentice aircraft in the line. Compared to its predecessor, it had an engine with much greater maximum power, it also had much better aerodynamic properties and better performance. An important feature was also the fact that the Hunting Provost T.1 was easy to pilot. Overall, the plane was successful and liked by the pilots. It is worth adding that the Hunting Jet Provost aircraft was developed based on its fuselage, airframe and many design solutions. The machine also found its way to the air forces of such countries as Burma, Iraq and Ireland.

The Percival Provost is a British training aircraft for initial flight training. Developed in the 1950s to replace the obsolete Percival Prentice aircraft in units of the British Air Force.
