rav Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) The second prototype of PZL P.1 (SP-ADO), the first fighter design of Zygmunt Puławski. First flown in March 1930 and later modified, in June she competed in a fighter contest in Bucharest. She won 8 of 15 trials but because of political reasons she finished just in 4th place of 7 teams. Pilot: Bolesław Orliński, company test pilot of PZL Okęcie (Warsaw). The P.1 remained a prototype but she was the first of famous Polish gull-winged fighters. The kit: Arma-Hobby (1/72).

socjo1 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Rafał, that's absolutely fantastic! Great "real" photos and pilot is nice add. What about decals? From where did you take a pilot? Chipping is mady by oil paints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! 11 minutes ago, socjo1 said: What about decals? A real nightmare. Too stiff to conform wings corrugations. Fluids did not help much. The decals produced bubbles and cracks. I had to cut them in many spots and there was a lot of touch-ups needed. I will be happy making P.1/I without any decals some time in the future. 11 minutes ago, socjo1 said: From where did you take a pilot? I don't remember... New Airfix Tiger Moth maybe? I made this little Orliński in his white overall for my PZL P.6 over a year ago. 11 minutes ago, socjo1 said: Chipping is mady by oil paints? Yes, MiG Oilbrusher Gun Metal, applied with very short paintbrush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
