Vesa Jussila Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I visited today in local hobby shop and got kit of RWD-8 from company PZW. This is totally new company for me. Ailerons look bit heavy detailed to me. Can anyone point me good photos from cockpit, because there is no details at all in this kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I think you are talking on 1/72 kit? This is previous kit of RWD-8, from 1988 https://www.scalemates.com/pl/kits/pzw-20-rwd-8--251771 (in sense that the most recent is the IBG kit https://modellair.blogspot.com/2018/02/rwd8pws-r.html ). For me it was very basic, but certainly was recalling proper shapes of RWD-8. Maybe I am not that much demanding as other are, because the appearance of IBG kit was most welcomed in Polish modelers fora. Here is an article in English on RWD-8 https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showatt.php?attachmentid=4386907&d=1320111029 The machine was produced in two factories: DWL and PWS (main difference in cackpits, the DWL had two separate cockpits, PWS had a single, long one) so one have to careful when you want to do a scheme based on photos. Have also look here https://www.mojehobby.pl/products/RWD-8-Samolot-szkolno-lacznikowy.html Regards J-W 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Boak Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I had that as well (assuming there was no other RWD 8 kit). I thought it nice enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelldoc Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 When I build my RWD-8 no PE parts on the market, it's decades before, mid 80. https://www.flickr.com/photos/21603181@N08/16140224546/in/photolist-qHk1qE-qtceyz-qAfSry-qm6xit modelldoc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
