PZL.23 Karaś family - IBG Models 1/72


Botan

Recommended Posts

 

Hurray :penguin:

 

 

PZL.42 was a experimental Karaś with twin tail. By the way, Karaś means "Crucian carp".

(I hope they check plans, not like with RWD-8)

I hope they will do PZL.43 too, since we didn't have it in injected form so far, unlike these two.

 

I hope so too, but I don't remember that PZL.42 had injected model. I'm checking comments under IBG's post, and they responded, that PZL.46 Sum is planned too.

For PZL.42 I meant Accura's kit which was in fact Heller's injected P.23 supplemented by modified parts in resin, so that is why I considered it injected.

The only PZL.43 in 1/72nd scale that I know of is a vacuformed model from previous century. I forgot the name of the producer.

 The PZL.23 Karaś (crucian carp) was a Polish light bomber and reconnaissance aircraft designed in the mid-1930s by PZL in Warsaw. It was the primary Polish reconnaissance bomber in use during the Invasion of Poland.

Finally, a nice modern injection-moulded PZL.23! Definitely one that will be on my list.

Mine too; I've got the Heller kit, but I have a fickle nature and my head is easily turned :D

 

Cheers,

There's nothing about these posts I don't like :D!!

 

Yay :party:!!

 

I love the Heller kit, but a breath of fresh air was needed.

 

Plus now we have the 42, and the 'Sum' is on it's way.

 

I have a lovely old 1/48 vac model of the Sum, but no room for it, so 1/72 will be bought!

 

In fact all of these (and Arma's PZL P 7a!) will be bought.

 

Great stuff IBG :thanks: .

 

:).

You know: we need a new PZL 37 Łos folks don't we?

 

A lot :pray: 

 

TT

 

It did occur to me that if these and the Arma Hobby P.7 sell well that we might conceivably see a PZL.37 :hmmm:

 

Cheers,

A Los would be nice, but whilst we're dreaming, how about an injection-moulded Zubr? Ah the Zubr; what an outstanding aeroplane! Something like a Polish Botha. Still, I'd love to see one - the Choroszy Modelbud kit looks excellent, but it's a bit pricey and all-resin.

Has anyone seen any pricings for these? Lovely as they look, I hope the price isn't too hefty!

 

The price for their 1/72 RWD 8 is around the equal of GBP £9.20 over here in Oz, which I thought was ok; maybe it's a good indication of the price range we can expect?

 

In my water I feel they may be around £13, but maybe I've been eating too much Asparagus. It just 'feels' right :D.

 

I've become quite excited by this news; been looking at perhaps purchasing this book in preparation:

Has anyone any views on the book? Worth £15?

 

Best regards

There are also Broplan vacu of Zubr and Sum. Both in my stash...This will be pity (at least for me) if there will be much better models on market, isn't ? ;)

That's the way it goes sometimes, J-W! I've often bought old kits, only to have someone come out with better kits. I do have the old injection-moulded kit of the Los, but I'll gladly put that aside if IBG come out with a new kit.

Jason, it always happens to me.My several scratch conversions and even entirly scratch builds lost some sexapeal due to appearence of a complete injection kit of the same subject.  Just to name few cases: Lancaster Mk II, Avia 135, Savoia JRS 79, SAI 207, Reggiane 2005, Caproni 310, Kawasaki Ki 100, Narthrop Delta, Northrop Gamma 2e, Grumman FF1, Curtiss Hawk III, Curtiss Hawk 75 N, Aispeed Envoy, Ikarus Ik 2, Ju 86R.... Only few still waits for full  injection kit: PZL 43, KB 11 Fazan, Wellington Mk VI and Mk 1 (turretless), Caproni 309, Wallace Mk II...  For how long? OK I know, many modellers hope that not for a long time! :)

More than 15 years ago I did scrach reshape of Airfix Battle and very soon after that a MPM kit appeared. Perhaps I have to repeat it :)
