Well known photos with aluminium insides are photos of prototypes. So currently there is an opinion that khaki is a right choice for interior. BTW - I like version (shade) of khaki in that thread - it is not so much brown as some people do. Look that light blue is more pale blue, much lighter then German or Russian ones. Regards J-W Thanks for the information on the interior J-W. Does this also apply to the PZL.23? I would prefer to make the models with Khaki interiors to aluminium; it looks better This is my favourite paint for the pale blue: http://eshop.agama-color.cz/zbozi/3996/P9P-Svetla-modra.htm (As an aside, it's also a nice colour for the underside of (later) Spanish Republican I-16 ).

occa Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 On 8/3/2017 at 11:32 AM, JWM said: The ZTS and Mastercraft is the same plastic but have a look at them - it is likely that ZTS as likely older one has better quality of moulds. Of course decals im Masterkit are far better. Regarding stash and expected lifespan - I have not too big stash so I assumed that I should do some 20 models a year then there is a chace to use most of kits in expected life span in my case. But the stash is growing in some magic way...- due to existance of companies like Fly, Azur, Special Hobby, AZ, RS and few more. The most strange is that I am doing some scratch build from time to time and this is not reducing stash! And 20 model a year is not simply, I am not achieving typicly... By the way - PM of you have some rare vacu, which you will not build... Cheers J_W Sorry J-W, almost overlooked your request. I will make a list of the vacu kits that I still have and PM you then. Will take a few days ... I think I even have both in my stash, the ZTS versions and the Mastercraft repops which like you say have the better decals indeed but look a bit like mice have nibbled on them. For nostalgic reasons I will keep them both most likely Cheers, Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glasing in Karas or Łoś were rather of large areas, so the alu inside would spoil a bit effect of camo. 7 hours ago, occa said: Sorry J-W, almost overlooked your request.

Colin1967 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Thank you Gentleman for your confirmation on this subject, I do build 'what if's', but, mainly if that particular country had actually placed an order for the aircraft and not received it.

Cheers Michael Michael, Thank you very much for answering my post and for the additional information regarding the ordered PZL-Los, most interesting. Best regards Colin.

JWM Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 It will be interesting to compare two new Łoś: Fly and IBG. Few weeks from release of both Polish modeller fora will bring all possible comparisons, I am sure about it...

Cheers Michael Very, very old post but I just found very interesting fictitious art work of finnish PZL.37. Completing information about export plans: - China - offer for sale used PZL.37A/Abis in 1938, - Bulgaria - version with italian FIAT A.74 engines, - Greece - 12 to 24 planes with GR-14N engine, order was cancelled in 1939, - Iran - 12 planes, - Switzerland - very initial interests, - Egipt - 1 or 2 planes as a gift of polish goverment.

To those of us, who are not familiar with Polish yet the results of this comparison favored IBG model however no obvious flaws of Fly kit was found. The main difference in shapes is with ventral gunner position but it is not clear to me from what is written in which kit it is better. The less important difference is in surface detailing of tail. IBG is favored mostly due to better engeneering of model (easier consruction). Interesting that both kits Łoś were designed in Poland.

pommie commie Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Lovely plane, with excellent performance. I'm going to do several (eventually!), but I think a nice what-if Yugoslavia one (same colours as Do17 /. Blenheim) would look good, maybe with one side as a Croatia one.........Yugoslav markings oversprayed with Croat markings. As time (and space) get scarcer, I've decided to try and do as many planes as possible in 2 halves. Paul in NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
