PZL P.11c - 132 Sqn (1/32, IBG)

[PrzemoL]

The time has come for something far from ww1. Yet, the aircraft is dear to all us Poles who are interested in ww2 aviation - our fighter from dark days of September 1939.

Modelingwise, we live now in blessed times. After many years of misery nowadays, thanks to Arma Hobby and IBG, we have within our grasp the accurate and spectacularly detailed kits of this iconic a/c in three major scales - 72, 48 and 32.
I have built 72nd one some time ago, I do not do 48th. And here is my take on 32nd.
Work on the cockpit is underway. Plastic and PE fit perfectly till now.

very nice start! this kit is a real gem

[PrzemoL]

Thank you for your interest in this build and you kind words.

The work on cockpit continues, some wash used to bring out the details still needs some touches. And I also plan to add a few pipes and linkages. It is fun!

Ooh, this is spectacular work, Przemo! I really appreciate the work in progress as I fully intend to do this kit one day.... one day!! Regards, Marc.

This is really a beautiful kit. I have also placed it near my workbench.
A lot of interesting Resin-parts from Bitzkrieg and extra decals lie next to it.
I just hope that soon the modeling desire will grab me again.

Beautiful work that you show us here, @PrzemoL

Thank you Marc and Bertl. And if I may advise, do not hesitate to get to this kit. It is a gem of Wingnut Wings-like quality.

I have just finished working on the cockpit. Modification the Viet starter and adding a couple of pipes, cables and linkages at the spots which will be visible afterwards were only changes to the lovely kit bits. Yes, I plan to leave all the hatches open as suggested in the instruction.
And yes, the guns have the barrels replaced with the bits by Master.

Kit looks great! Is this the standard issue kit? Do you know if the 1/48 scale version has the same level of detail ?

Thank you Ed.
48th scale kit is from Arma Hobby. It is different but also very detailed. It comes in two variants, with and without PE fret. Have a look here:

This IBG 32nd scale kit is available just in one variant with PE included.

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