IBG PZL 11c Poland 1939

Now that the Bf110 is declared done, time to start something new. I've been wanting to get the 110 done so I can start on this one. When It's finished, it will be a gift for a niece.

The kit.

The AM that I purchased. I ended up with two of the oil cooler/radiators when the aircraft only has one. I'm not sure whether I'll use the decals or masks for the markings. I haven't decided on which markings yet.

Two books that I purchased as well as others on my kindle app too. And two more on the way.

And Paint. I couldn't find specific paint in my favorite paint (MRP) but found these from Hataka. And these were ordered directly from Hataka because I couldn't find a source here, until after I ordered these. I've never used Hataka paints before.

It looks like it should be a fun project.

This looks to be a nice kit. A great assortment of AM for it too.

Beautiful plane and a great kit, denders. I built it some years ago and absolutely loved the experience. I can´t remember any real issues with the kit, in fact engineering and fit were near perfect.
I wanted to try something new with the build and brush painted it with oil colors, which worked better than thought.
If you are interested, here is a link to my build, where we had some interesting discussions about the original and especially about the paint scheme
 

Cheers Rob

Thanks Rob! I'll certainly have a look through your thread and save it for reference.

It’s a great kit ! (I still have to finish mine, though)
it can be a bit fiddly in some areas, especially the assembly between the seat pan and seat back, with the intervention of PE braces … Ask me how I know … Well, forewarned is forearmed …

Thanks, Hubert!

First step, the wheels. I have the Quickboost wheel set but thought I'd build the kit wheels too. On the left is the kit wheels, on the right is the QuickBoost wheel set. There's a color photo in the Mushroom Yellow Series book which appears to have a circumferential tread pattern. There is also a photo which appears to have been from an original manual which has smooth tread. I'm suspecting that the color photo is from more modern times and is not period correct. The seam line in the tire is way too large to pass off as tread, so would have to be corrected. I'll note that the artwork on the box has the circumferential tread pattern too. I have two other books arriving tomorrow and I'll see what they have in them. I think I'll go with the Quickboost wheel set because the kit wheels will also end up with smooth tread once all the seam is filled and sanded.
