RWD-8a (1/72)
« on: March 28, 2016, 07:56:46 PM »
My second detour from WW1 related subjects. Just finished - the model of the Polish trainer from 1930s - RWD-8a. This was the most numerous aircraft built in Poland in mid-war years.
The model is a new release from IBG - their aviation debut. Honestly, not a very successful one. Luckily, the remedy was quick with Attack Squadron (Arma hobby) almost immediate release of resin correction for wings, elevator, rudder, nose with prop. I have also used a lot of PE elements from the Part set and added some scratch in the cockpit and in the aileron control mechanism. The version I modelled requred some other modifications of u/c, the cabane struts were massive - I thinned them. In fact not much is left from the original IBG in my model. Enjoy.

Not a bad looking model Przemol, such a shame that so much of the original kit could not be used.

That's a gorgeous little trainer, Przemo!  You did your usual magic, making a rough kit look slick.  Fantastic paintwork, my friend.
Cheers,

Thank you, gentlemen. I am glad you like it. The next one will be a WW1 subject, the brand new Airfix BE2c. I am waiting for the Windsock Datafile.

Why is it that your 1/72 scale models always look as though they are 1/32 or larger? Fantastic modelling. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with the new Airfix BE2 - another gem on the way no doubt.
