Sincerely seconded!

And why .... ?

Looks like it goes together quite nicely & easily.

Because they're as rare as hens teeth!

You lucky bugger, you.  I've been trying now for over 15 years to purchase one of these but usually been outbid.    

I was searching one year ago in a german Aeroplane Forum and some other places. And found both different kits in some weeks for a very friendly price . 

We also had some Mail contact to the daughter of Mr.Tank here in Germany, she was in India at that time with here Family .

Oh nice one: I've been saying for years that this deserves an injection-moulded kit. Maybe now that you've committed to building a resin Marut, AZ or somebody will come out with one next week!

There must be a market for a Airfix or Tamiya kit,  millions of people in India . Somewhere in the future ?

How many modellers are there in India though?

Special Hobby thought it was worth doing the Ajeet, and the single-seat Gnat market outside of Britain, India, Finland and the Hot-Shots fandom can't have been huge, so I live in hope that they'll follow it up with a Marut. Much more likely them than Airfix.

I've been screaming for a Marut kit every week since forever! But injection molded for me.

If I recall correctly, the Indian Air Force day on ARC is well represented each year. Well, 'twas when SBARC was maintaining it. And India is projected to have the largest middle-class population in the world in a few years. Out of a population of 1.4 billion, there should be a few modelers.

That's EXACTLY what i mean .
