Stanley Ipkiss Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Hi all! Here is my latest work, and so far the only one this year It is a first prototype of famous Polish fighter PZL P.11. The prototype was marked as P.11/I, was left in natural colour of metal with differential shading clearly visible. Model is from great resin kit produced by Arma Hobby. It's really neat and building it is simply great. They have almost whole line of "PZL's" in their offer, check their site if someone is interested. Anyway, I hope you will like this rare bird Painted with XTREME METAL colours from AK-interactive. Cheers! Stanley 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) Nice That is 1/72? How were the AK paints? Your finish looks great but were they easy to apply? Martin Edited July 26, 2017 by RidgeRunner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Ipkiss Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 Hi Martin! Yes, this is 1/72 Thx for a good word! AK paints were quite good. There was no problem with application but I think it is necessary to use dedicated black base from XTREME series. I'm not sure how would they work on some other primer. Anyway after paiting they were easy to polish and hard to damage. I'd give them thumbs up. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 That's a real beauty. I have never seen a PZL in natural metal before. It suite it very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley Indeed I do like it, and I shall definitely look at Arma Hobby, as the whole range of PZL's interests me a great deal. Superb work, far, far nicer than any of my PZL builds - thanks for sharing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Superb – she looks very attractive in her NMF, and very realistic, too. Great modelling. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley Ipkiss Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Thank you all for kind words. I'm glad that P.11 prototype caught your eye! Arma Hobby have so many to offer in that topic! RESIN 1/72: PZL P.1/I PZL P.1/II PZL P.6 PZL P.7/I-1 PZL P.8 PZL P.11/I + INJECTED PZL P.7a All of them worth their money And, of course, it's not their last word. Cheers Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 That's very nicely made Stan, it looks very much like photographs of the real thing . I've been using the Xtreme metals and like them a lot. They're ok without the black undercoat, but it does allow for nice tonal effects. I like the way you have done the engine area, good texture and tonal changes. Best regards TonyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Masters Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 A question about the paint...are there any paints like these that can be used with a hand brush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
