mack Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Hello A couple of photos with my latest kit. Arma Hobby 1/72nd PZL P.11c modified into a PZL P.11f with parts from Azur-FRROM (engine, cowling, proppeller) and IBG Models (ailerons, stab and elevator). P.11f were produced under licence at IAR Brasov and only used by Royal Romanian Air Force.

Bangseat Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Beautiful builds! Great stuff. (Romanian PZLs = my learning point for the day!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socjo1 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) Beautiful Frankenstein (from 3 models) or Dracula with polish ancestors!😉 I like much subtle repaintings and weathering. Upper colours scheme are like British (Dark green/Dark Earth)? And what is depicting white sign on fuselage in front of tail?

Upper colours scheme are like British (Dark green/Dark Earth)? And what is depicting white sign on fuselage in front of tail? IAR Brasov (the manufacturer of the P.11f) bought and used British Cerrux paints for the IAR-80 fighter plane till 1942ish. When fresh out of the manufacturing line, the P.11f were having a single upper color, wrapped around the fuselage, in a similar way to Polish P.11 planes. The exact color is still unclear, opinions are oscillating between Polish khaki, French khaki or British Dark Green. At some point the upper surface was changed to two tone camouflage and light-colored fuselage underside with a somehow wavy separation line. As far as I know there are no period color images but similarities with IAR-80 (for which there are period color images) are indicating the use of British paints. The solid dots on wing upper and lower surface are overpaints of previous national marking (roundel replace with the cross in spring 1941); fuselage also shows the previous yellow identification band hastily overpainted with green. These are inspired by period photos (of several different airframes, so not 100% historically accurate). The white stencil is “a pilot with a Rata in a leash”; a particular way of indicating a kill, seen (with some variations) on several other P.11 from Escadrila 43 (43rd Squadron)/ Grupul 3 Vanatoare (3rd Fighter Group) at the beginning of 1941 Campaign for Bessarabia. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojtek2 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 This looks so cute. Romanian 11f is perhaps the most elegant variant of all 11's... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only hope for a small additional sprue alongside the existing ArmaHobby P.11c 1/48 kit... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
303sqn Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 In time IBG will release kits of all the P.11 versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they - IBG Models - will have a try with P.11f in 32nd and Arma Hobby on 48th scale. The least I can do is to hope... or I can start a conversion to trigger the release... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still consider the P.11a/ b as second best looking with the P.11/ III in air race colors as the best one. Not sure how hard would be to create - out of the P.11c kit - the white/ red machine (P.11/V?) presented at the 1934 Paris Air Show. Maybe Arma Hobby will think about a limited edition/ version... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
