Dan Hayward Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Here's an obscure one for you! It's a P.W.S. 10 which was Poland's first fighter to enter series production, circa 1930. It was also my first attempt at building a vacuform kit and I really enjoyed it. I used most of the kit parts but made my own cockpit, oil cooler, landing gear and the spinner was smash-molded over a reshaped P-38 spinner. The prop came from the spares box and was reshaped a bit.Thanks for looking!-Dan 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Hi Dan. I love inter-war parasol winged fighters and this one really looks the part with those faired-in cylinder heads. Great job on the vacform too. I've a Broplan Potez 25 waiting to be done, so I'm pleased to see how well this one has turned out (at least in your skillfull hands).

Dan Hayward Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Thank you all! Jerzy- Your model is excellent! I wish I had seen it before doing mine because you included some details that I didn't. -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Thank you Dan, but I think yours PWS is excellent and at least far better painted Cheers J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomprobert Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Brilliant. It's great to see vacs getting some much needed air-time. Great build and will hopefully prove to those teetering on the edge that vacs build into beautiful models providing you're willing to have a go.

bristol boy Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Great little model, hard to believe it's a vacform. Having recently done my first one I am no longer daunted by the prospect. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
