    It was time for the chessboards and lasers to go.
  2. Kriss
    Masking removed and so the camouflage came out, now it's time for the chequers.

    A few pics of painting the camouflage on the wings, the ones that go on the monument. And on the model the work goes on, for now I am doing the interior of the fuselage.

    You have no idea what the look on the face of an employee at a paint-mixing shop when I told him that I needed to buy car paints to paint the plane, specifically the wings. I had to explain everything to him and tell him the story of the fallen crew. I can tell you that he surprised me very pleasantly, I did not expect such an involvement in choosing the right camouflage colours. And the work continues both on the model and on the wing. Today only the progress on the wing.

    What I could manage to do at home on the wings for the memorial is done, the rest will already be done at my work. My boss agreed and I was given a room to paint the wing. I can't help but thank you for your help.

    Work continues to move forward slowly. The truss prepared for painting and the rest of the equipment under construction is.

    Until a few years ago I was exclusively building models in 72, but my eyesight has faded and I have a problem, I'm trying my best, but I think I'll switch to 48 or 32. Currently I'm preparing to emboss the cockpit cover for the "Kobuz" as well as the PZL P.24 because I also have these in my plans to build.

    So now it's time for that surprise. There was a memorial erected at the site where the plane went down, but the tooth of time has done its work and a new memorial is now being erected. I am also taking part in this personally, I know such a boastful post but sometimes you have to have one. Thanks to the association that took it upon itself to erect the new memorial, we were able to reach the last living witness to the event. We also managed to interview 94-year-old Mrs Ziora, who was 10 years old at the time and was at the site. Mrs Ziora told us a very interesting story about the heroic fight of the Polish crew against the German infantry. Returning to the memorial, I liked the wings that will be placed there. Interview with Mrs Ziora. Wings under construction. And already at my place in front of the workshop.

    It is not a problem with the decals, but with their arrangement on the surface of the model, specifically on the wings. In fact, PZL fighter planes from 1 to 24 used corrugated sheet metal on the covering, as in the Ju-52. And there was still a reinforcement of the sheet metal connection underneath. I had a bit of fun with this but managed to apply it. In the next post I'll upload pictures of how it came out, I'm putting it together further.
  10. Kriss
    I'm struggling to apply the decals to the corrugated surface of the wing from the top and I'm having an even harder time on the underside due to the reinforcing strips. So decal liquids and forward, nothing else left for me.

    LUBLIN R.XIII D 1:32 LUKGRAPH It was supposed to be from FLY both "Tunnan" but life has verified the plans as always. As a tribute to the fallen crew there is Lublin R.XIII D in 1:32 from LUKGRAPH. The model will be built in the colours of the 1st Platoon 26 EO (observation squadron) of the 2nd Air Regiment Cracow. The probable designation of the aeroplane is the letter E on the fuselage, the military number of the aeroplane is 56-126 and the under wing number is 16 K. The crew consisted of Lt. obs. Leon Wrzeszcz and Staff Sergeant Pilot Adam Baran. On 1.09.1039 the aircraft was shot down by ground fire and crashed in the village of Piasek near Strzebinia / Lubliniec, the crew died. The deadline for making the model is very short, because I want to make it in time for the unveiling of the newly-made memorial at the site of the plane crash. So much for the story, and now for the model; in the box we have everything we need to build it. From the extras there is an instrument panel available for it in the company YAHU MODELS YMA3231, which I will use in the model. Thanks to the companies LUKGRAPH and YAHU MODELS for their help. ps. There will be a little surprise in the next post.

    Masks removed after painting with the last camouflage colour, that's how it came out for me.
  13. Kriss
    I am just starting to build a collection of Polish wings and there are quite a few in 72, but my eyesight has declined a bit and I am moving to larger scales of 48 and 32. And by the way, the PZL P.23 "Karas" is a beautiful aircraft.
  14. Kriss
    For painting I used a kit from "HATAKA" dedicated to the 1939 Polish Air Force, HTK-CS01 from the orange line. The underside and top are already in colours and I am trying to do the camouflage that IBG proposes. For easier painting the model is in parts. Masking done and I only have the green camouflage colour left to apply.
  15. Kriss
    Thanks for the reply, that was my guess. There are still plenty at my place but I'm slowly taking them on to finish them.
  16. Kriss
    There is a PE in the kit and it's the same for all P.11 and P.24 models, and just out of curiosity I'd like to ask which Polish constructions interest you? Because I am just starting on the 32 model of the Lublin R.XIII D. The rest of the information tomorrow in a post. I think it will be interesting, the wings are placed but not literally. You know corrugated sheet metal is a challenge no matter the scale, but laying down decals is a challenge. Paying attention to the reinforcements of the flap on the lower surface. I have had the pleasure of testing a few models and I know it is meant to be a pleasure. Forgive me for asking but what does 7/9 sets of SOD mean? My English is poor and I use a translator.
  17. Kriss
    "Kobuz" prepared for painting is already there. I know the photo is a bit blurry but I think you can see everything. It's just the way it is with me that I take a photo and don't always check how it came out and I keep building the model.
  18. Kriss
    Thanks, but this will not be the only chessboard. This is the beginning I have plans to do more Polish models and not only in 72.
  19. Kriss
    Fuselage glued together and sheet metal from Yahu models taped.

    While doing some cleaning, I came across another model started years ago. There are still quite a few of them in my closet and the studio is also swamped with them and it's high time to finish them too. That's just for the record. Coming back to the model, I have a model of the Polish fighter plane PZL P.11g "Kobuz" in 1:72 from the IBG Models offer (cat. no. 72523). This is the last version of the P.11 and was built in one copy. The outbreak of war prevented further work on it. There are no photos or plans of what it looked like, so a model will be built based on what IBG Models offers in its kit. This will be such a hypothetical (what-if) version. The kit comes with a choice of two engine covers as well as two undercarriage options, wheels alone or in covers like the PZL P.24. There are two types of propellers on the frames too, two-blade and three-blade. In the manual, IBG included three paint schemes, two of which are the typical gray/haki/blue and the third is camouflage, and these are the ones I chose. On the PZL P.11g "Kobuz" Lt. pilot Henryk Szczęsny scored two air victories on September 14 and 15, 1939. Returning to the model I had the interior ready, but the fuselage not yet closed. Of the extras, I used products from Yahu Models, which I thank for providing them. And they are these kits: YMA7212 Instrument panel YSM7227 Accessoriess

    Thank you very much

    This is the last entry from the construction of the model. Macchi C.202 "Folgore" in 1:48 completed in Commander 153o Gruppo camouflage.
  23. Kriss
    Decals overlaid so the end is near.
  24. Kriss
    The camouflage is finished, although I am not satisfied with the result myself until the end. On the next Italian I will try another technique for painting the smoke clouds. So now it's time to put it on the chassis and apply the decals.
  25. Kriss
    It took a while but the painting is finished. I know the smoke clouds came out a bit too big but I think I have a way to paint them. The next time I paint it like this I will test it. For now I need to see if I need to do any touch-ups etc.
