Hello!
I’d like to present my first 1/48 model airplane I made some time ago. It is IIWW Polish fighter PZL P11c from Mirage-hobby. It is the one that bravely fought against German Bf 109s & 110s. Although it couldn’t match to German fighters’ speed and armament – it still could win a dogfight for it’s incredible manoeuvrability (thanks to it's unusuall wing construction).

About the kit: I think it’s a very well detailed kit, full of engraved panel lines, correct to drawings. The kit I bought comes with small PE fret and a resin radiator. The only problem I had is the instruction drawings are not clear enough at the interior/cockpit stage. So, after assembly I could not close up the fuselage halves. But eventually I overcame the problem by stripping and redoing the interior sides.

Don’t be disappointed; this is my first kit in this scale. Painted with a brush with lack of experience on plastic kits. Anyway here it is:

Regards,
Marudek
