Recommended Posts

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).

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?

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.

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.

Yes, MiG Oilbrusher Gun Metal, applied with very short paintbrush.
