Azur 1:72, PZL 24B


Recommended Posts

Royal Bulgarian Air Force, 2 Istrebitelen Orliak (Fighter Regimen), December 1938 - Karlovo Airfield

Built almost OOB (except thee engine) with the red decals discarded in favor of Hu 60 to have the colour uniform, same with the flag on the rudder. Quite a few scratchbuild details on the engine required to look decent at least. I have used the vacuum canopy, but TBH there is not much difference. I used the injected one as a template to cut the masks :)

At least intermediate skills required, imho

 

P.S. Just after the shooting I realised I've missed the Pitot tube - in place now :)

Super build in very attractive colours! I like the national insignia which I hadn't been aware of until today. You write "pre-war" but this aircraft looks more advanced than the P.Z.L. P-11.

Thank you! :)

Yes, actually it was planned as an export version of P.11, but ended up as more capable successor. Entered service in 1936 and used extensively in combat by Greece as a front-line fighter. Used also in Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey. Rendered obsolete by late 30s'

P-24 looks like masterpiece art-design. All these bends, curves and shapes. And this camo adds lot for wooow! - factor.

Very nice model!
