All this for £57 at the big shops! Fantastic build and what a kit! Przemol do have any opinions on IBG's other kits?

It is only my third IBG build. I have their first a/c model RWD.8. It was a disastrous start of the company into the realm of aviation. The kit had many serious flaws and to build a decent model one had to replace the wing, the stabilisers and fuselage front with resin bits from Arma Hobby.
But after that it was only better. Their kits from P.11, Karaś and Łoś family are all little gems. I have built their PZL 42 - a lovely kit. This 32nd scale P.11c is simply fantastic.
And those who built vehicles and armor are also praising their products. I have seen many built examples in modeling contests around Poland, both 72nd and 35th scale - they look spectacular.
SO yes, I would recommend their kits, only be careful with that RWD.8.

This looks excellent, Przemol. I hope all the fuse openings don't make painting too much trouble.

I hope so, too. My plan is to use all the covers attached temporarily during the airbrushing. The cockpit opening will be masked with tape and the gun barrels in their groves with some pieces of tissue. Should be fine

And thanks for the praise-comment.

Prze, that cockpit is achingly beautiful - it looks like (what I imagine of) the real thing!

I'm excited for your next update.

I will follow your project, well done Przemek!

Thank for your comments.
The work continues.
I have decided to purchase Part PE, basically only for the windscreen frame and the supports of the engine cowl which are already attached to the cylinders heads. The electric cables from silver thread attached to the spark plugs.
Besides, I decided to exchange the oil radiator with Master masterpiece. It required cutting the hole in the fuselage side.
The wing assembly put together, filled and sanded.
And the resin propeller with the engine cone cut from the casting blocks.

Some more... the exhausts have thinned walls, and some work on details from PE kit fret and Master masterpieces.

Amazing. Nice work with the Part p.e. I always see their detail sets and think I need a degree in origami.

Prez,

Rec'd my 1/48 kit along with the Master barrels, Master radiator and the Yahu Instrument Panel, great stuff. Will follow your build as I will start hopefully before the end of this year.

That is great, Ed. I am looking forward to see you tackle that set.

I have missed this before Prez - not keeping up very well recently with very much at all.

Another of your wonderful builds with such crisp and precise detail. Truly a mini-masterpiece in the making.

Stephen.

Thanks for the reply Prez,this kit is rather special and the build........well I can smell the engine oil......fantastic!!!

Wow Prez, I don't check this section very often but I really should. There is superb work on what looks to be a real state of the art kit going on here. Looking forward to the next update.

Finally something to show. The main colours are on. Now for the decals.

In the meantime a small amendment - the trailing edge of the engine cowl had to be thinned.

PrzemoL · « **Reply #29 on:** November 25, 2022, 04:05:42 AM »

Some more progress.
Pressing the decals into the plate corrugations is tedious and some retouches will be necessary.
The windscreen is now with glass panes, only the rearview mirror is missing.
