Hi,
PZL 43 was a light bomber and recce airplane, it was an export version of PZL 23 Karas. The main differnce between them was in engine - while PZL 23 was driven by single row radial, nine cylinders Bristol Pegasus VII the PZL 43 was driven by double row, 14 cyliders Gnome Rhone GR 14 NO1 engine. To balance airplane fuselage had to be extended by about 30 cm. The rear part of canopy was extended and it came to a rounded at the end. There was no this model on market at all (about 10 years ago), so I made a conversion of PZL 23 model by Heller. The conversion was made of scratch based on a monography of this type which was issued in Poland.
Some 40 of PZL 43 were bought by Bulgaria before outbreak of WWII, they were produced but not finished and they were delivered to Bulgaria later by Germans. It was used by Bulgarians during war. Five PZL 43 took part in defence of Poland in 1939.
Below, on a foreground is PZL 43, in background Heller PZL 23 Karas (this model I made 40 years ago, when I was in secondary school ) - in these times there was opinion that Polish airplaned were painted dark green, now it is considered, that they were painted khaki or light brown-green)
