Patrik Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I have seen Jan actively discussing, but sadly also insulting each other with his opponents using rather unbritmodellerish manners, on Czech modelling forum this week (to be fair - he was not the only one doing so in the discussion). So I suppose all is well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And anyway, isn't this is supposed to be a forum for the manufacturer, presumably, to discuss/respond to questions regarding his company's products? My comment, whether you liked it or not, was related, again, to new releases. Jan is going to have some editing to do when he comes back, assuming the moderators don't do it first.

John Thompson Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Hello Jan and/or Petr! Do you have any news about the new tooling of the KP 1/72 La-5FN that was mentioned last year, to be released after your La-5 and La-5F kits? Any thoughts about other VVS fighter aircraft - Yak-9 or I-16, for example? Best regards; John @Jan Polc  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jan is fine, I spoke to him on messenger last week. He seems to be doing less work for AZ/KP, so maybe is no longer their unofficial spokes person on britmodeller? I know he is getting more involved with Guideline Publications.  Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin @ Freightdog Models Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I understand from Jan he is now no longer working for AZ/KP, and will instead be focusing on his work for Guideline Publications and a few smaller producers, myself included. So I don't think we will see any more updates on this thread from him.  Thanks,  Colin   2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I helped Jan on some of his projects with translation/proof reading of his books, magazine articles etc and meeting him once a year at the nationals for our annual beer swapping exercise (he was very fond of Newcastle Brown Ale), I'll miss him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Sad news indeed. I enjoyed Jans posting here before he parted company with AZ/Kp. He struck me as having a wry sense of humour & was always cheerful in our exchanges. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
