Hello everyone, here we are with two new models. I played two of the PZL P.11c Mastercraft, a company polacca che ho recuperato in una fiera a soli 3.50 Euro a scatola…! A prima vista (in fiera) non sembravano poi tanto male (abituato a lavorare con residuati Airfix e Matchbox anni ’70). Poi a casa quando sono andato ad aprire i sachettini celofanati che li contengono e con un minimo di documentazione fotografica in mano, mi sono accorto che il lavoro (come al solito) era molto. Non solo, mi sono accorto che alcuni pezzi all’interno delle stampate (seppur segnalati nel foglio di montaggio) o mancavano totalmente o erano molto diversi dalla realtà. La fusoliera in oltre è più corta di due/tre millimetri. Non parliamo delle decals. Seppur buone nel loro complesso, erano completamente differenti da quello proposto all’esterno Carton, in fact I wanted to play a Polish and a Russian aircraft (taken after September 1939), but alas the decal of the latter were not there. In addition also lacked signs of Polish nationality wing (below and above) and then retrieved by other decals I had at home (the series "do not ever throw anything away" ...!) Never mind, I played two aircraft of two Polish different departments planes.
First of all I had to totally redo the cockpit, the only piece that I have held the seat that was due to the thickness of the plastic I could a risagomare con carteggiature, fresature e quant’altro. Il cruscotto è stato ricostruito, usando comunque le decal del kit che riproducono abbastanza fedelmente il cruscotto dei P.11c (qualche piccolo ritocco ho dovuto rifarlo). Pianale, barra di comando, pedaliere paratia posteriore sedile è stato tutto auto costruito. Poi ho dovuto reincidere qualche pannellatura in fusoliera e tutti i fori di arieggiamento del motore in fusoliera, un lavoro come al solito lungo e noioso. Le pale dell’elica motore sono completamente sbagliate, quindi ho dovuto tagliarle, risagomarle e rincollarle nella posizione corretta (anche qui un lavoro poco simpatico da fare). Al momento della chiusura delle due semifusoliere, altra sorpresa…non sono perfettamente adherent to each other, so even here the spring clip and so on to hold the fuselage together as possible to avoid the max then the fillings. Eventually some tweaking of grout or glue is a must ..! Another small problem then was found with the auction of livelihood of the wings. In this case I had to shorten a couple of millimeters for a correct insertion into the fuselage (a little 'Spartan as an invitation for the "fixing" of the auction). To overcome these problems, I realized that the spacers of the truck was too big compared to reality and no wider than necessary. Again, they were redone with the "sprue". For the purposes of the antennas I had to drill the wings, put a fishing line then fixed with 0.5 mm of runny superglue. The "wheel" of the queue is not equal to reality, but would do it again (for me) a too difficult, so I left one of your kit. I used colors like those of "Gunze": the part below in light blue (H314) and for the part above the fuselage sides and dark green (H314) with a pinch of white. So as usual pass Gloss clear decals, yet transparent gloss, light wash to highlight the panels and then clear matt finish, all of the "Gunze.
I played a PZL P.11c of the 162 ^ Eskadra, based in Lwow (or Lodz) shortly before September of 1939 and the 141 ^ PZL P.11c Eskadra to Pomorzoe in September 1939.
