JWM Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) I have realized that P11G shadowed P11A, but in fact the appearance of model of the latest is a true novelty regarding Sept 39 models. AFAIR some 20 of PZL P11a were used in September 1939 fights, some were evacuated to Romania and there are numerous differences between P11a and P11c , maybe bigger then between Messer Emil and Gustav...Wiki says about P11c differences compared to P11a: "The P.11c would be the principal (and final) variant of the type to be inducted into the Polish Air Force. First reaching fighter squadrons during late 1935, it featured the adoption of a new, refined fuselage, a major change of which being the relocation of the engine to be 13 cm lower down in the aircraft's nose, which had the advantage of providing the pilot with an improved exterior view.[10] Besides, a new stronger engine Mercury V S2 had smaller diameter. Forward framework was longer, covering an enlarged and more comfortable cockpit, with pilot's seat moved 30 cm rearwards and raised by 5 cm.[9] The central part of the wings was also modified. During 1934, production of the P.11c commenced, by 1936, the type was being produced at a rate of 25 fighters per month; in total, 150 aircraft were produced by the end of production in 1936 (older sources quoted a number of 175, which is not confirmed in any documents).[9] The first series of approximately 50 P.11c aircraft were fitted with Mercury V S2 of 600 hp (447 kW), the rest with Mercury VI S2 of 630 hp (470 kW).[1]" Cheers J-W Edited October 1, 2019 by JWM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piotr Mikolajski Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Well, in fact both are novelties. P.11as were released earlier: in 1988 as vacu by JMK and in 2000s and 2010s as poor quality resin kits which were copies of that vacu improved with different parts from other injection kits. Overpriced, hard to build and certainly not worthy cash and effort. P.11g was released only once, it was resin ripoff of Azur kits and MPM was not happy seeing their kits copied. As a kit of Kobuz this resin was full of errors, so certainly not worth of its price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Short info: the P11b was export (to Romania) variant of P11a, with different engine, instead of Bristol Mercury the Gnome-Rhone Mistral was installed. Some 50 build and delivered in 1934, remains of them were in service as advanced trainer in Romania during WW2. Regards J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to have them in the box, it would make aircraft a bit different from other P.11 fighter. Difference is shown on that 48 scale kit boxart on scalemates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piotr Mikolajski Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Three new sprues inside - E, I and W1, others you know from previous sets. The text is in Polish, but I think you are more interested in the pictures of the elements than in reading what you see in the pictures. https://nowosci.plastikowe.pl/aktualnosci/r-ibg-models-pzl-p-11c-72519/ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
