Thank you, guys!

The pictures attached above are scans from Monografie Lotnicze and Polish Wings (for educational purposes only, of course). September 39 aircraft are somewhat iconic in Poland. There was a huge flamewar in polish modelling forums , when previous IBG product- RWD-8, was released. There was mistake in this kit- one rib in the wing was ommited. Some said it was only minor mistake, for others it was sacrilege! As a result two manufacturers released corrected wings. Similar discussion took place with Azur PZL P-11c. I'm quite convinced, that guys from IBG watched molding mastere several times to avoid such poo-poostorm. My advice- feel free to ask in polish forums about polish aircraft. I'm curious, if you are planning to build PZL-37 Łoś (does not matter, from IBG, or Fly). I'd like to see your stunning work.

I got all polish books and publications about Karaś. There is three biggest books about topic: 1995 Monografie Lotnicze 23 by Tomasz J. Kopański and Krzysztof Sikora, 2004 Stratus book by Tomasz J. Kopański, and 2013 Polish Wings nr 17 by ......Tomasz J. Kopański. Even in former two books plans are different. But the heck with the drawings. There are good photographs, that show panel lines and they match factory pictures. I'm not related with IBG, I don"t even know anybody from this factory. Just saw this model in polish forum http://www.pwm.org.pl/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=7059&start=1359 went to Britmodeller and saw something, that IMHO needs correction, to spare someones torment. Maybe is better to ask about polish aircraft on polish forums? HTH Piotr

I'm afraid you did a lot o unnecessary work with rescribing panel lines. Simply you got wrong drawings, and IBG did it right. Otherwise fine paintwork.
