Predator UAV MQ-1B (L) 1:72 Scale Model (MRC Kit 59003 – Platz Kit AC-3) Review

  

Review and Photos by Robert Byrnes

The MQ-1’s primary mission is interdiction and conducting armed reconnaissance. The MQ-1 Predator is a system, not just an aircraft.  A fully operational system consists of four aircraft (with sensors), a ground control station, a Predator Primary Satellite Link, or PPSL, along with operations and maintenance crews for deployed 24-hour operations.  The basic crew for the Predator is one pilot and two sensor operators.  They fly the aircraft from inside the ground control station via line-of-sight data link or a satellite data link for beyond line-of-sight. The Predator carries the multi-special Targeting System which integrates electro-optical, infrared, laser designator and laser illuminator into a single sensor package.  The aircraft can employ two laser-guided AGM-114 Hellfire anti-tank missiles.

For the Modeler: This is an (MRC Kit 59003, Platz Kit AC-3) MQ-1B (L) Predator UAV 1:72 Scale Model Review. It is a skill level 2 kit molded in 30 grey plastic pieces. The kit includes instructions and an excellent set of waterslide decals. This is a simple kit but the small parts and extensive decals will present a challenge to the novice but as you can see the results are worth the effort if you’re looking to add a great-looking UAV model to your collection. Have fun and keep learning…….
