Title: RAF SE.5a Polish (1/32, Wingnut Wings + Roden)
Post by: PrzemoL on April 09, 2017, 08:17:44 AM
The model of the only Polish SE.5a used in the fight. The aircraft was attached to 7th Kościuszko Squadron and made just one flight on July 15th, 1920, from Hołoby airfield. Cpt. Ciecierski was shot down and after a crash landing was taken prisoner, though later he managed to escape.
Wingnut Wings kit had the engine and radiator replaced with a modified and corrected Roden Viper. Some scratch details added in the cockpit and engine. Seatbelts from HGW, decals from Melius Manu.

Thank you very much, everybody for your kind words.

I was not completely satisfied with the photos, so I made another session and substituted the new shots.
