Yellow Aircraft

Model Airplane News, Jul 1998 by Chianelli, Chris

Yellow Aircraft and Hobby Supplies Ltd. was recently reorganized as Yellow Aircraft Intl. and is back at its previous location in Massachusetts. Yellow has always been known for high-quality products, and the new owners, Charles Tse and Chi Chen Tse, who managed the business from 1991 to 1996, assert that the company's product line will be better than ever. They say, "Yellow Aircraft will continue to improve and expand its fine products to provide the modeler with the best in engineering and value."

At the Toledo Show, they supplied evidence to support this in the form of a beautifully crafted F/A-18 fuselage (shown here with Chi Chen). The detailed molding on this totally reengineered twin and the hundreds of molded detail parts that go with the kit were truly beautifully made. I know; I saw for myself.

Rumor has it that Yellow has other surprises in store for us. How do a 71-inch-wingspan P-47, a 1/6-scale AT-6, a BAe Hawk and a sport jet sound to you?
