Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 31, 2020 Administrators Posted January 31, 2020 Has anyone heard of when the availability of this one will be? This will be an IMMEDIATE build for me. Along with the IAR developments, it’s one of my all time favorite WW.2 fighters. 6
1to1scale Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 I have been wanting this one for a long time, it’s a “need to buy” kit for me. Hopefully it will fall within my monthly allowance. It’s hard to say when, their 1/72 kit took 6 months from announcement to release. 6
HubertB Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Another « must buy » for me as well, that will sadly depreciate my Silver Wings one in the stash. Hubert 6
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 31, 2020 Author Administrators Posted January 31, 2020 Yeah, I have a Silver Wings kit about 2/3 finished. The engine and cowl drove me nuts so I put it aside for a bit to collect my thoughts. I absolutely love the early war Polish designs. Those folks fought like demons until just overwhelmed, and the P.11C was a 109 killer. It looks benign, but it had a mighty sting 4
BlrwestSiR Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Ernie, is that the one where the engine cylinders stick out of the cowl ring? If so, did you ever figure out a solution to assembling that bit? As much as I'm not into interwar/early WWII aircraft, there's something very appealing about this plane. Carl 3
harv Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Cant believe I haven't a single one of tha Polish fighters...... 3

Carl Yup it is, and to make it even more interesting, it’s a Bristol Mercury engine, so each cylinder exhausts into the collector ring, which is the leading edge of the cowl, and the cowl is a sorta NACA speed ring which almost free floats behind the exhaust collector. Nothing radical, just typical early war British radial shenanigans. I think the Beaufighter, Beaufort, Blenheim, Halifax, Swordfish, Albacore, Skua, and most other radial Brit engine installations were the same, with the cowl leading edge always being a hot meta, copper, or steel color The issue comes with having zero alignment pins, zero support, etc. nothing too far out to align, but it involves making a jig, and I was deep in my Lanc build at the time and couldn’t be bothered. I’ll haul it out and finish it one of these days, when I feel like doing some problem solving. 5
HubertB Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Just pre-ordered the Special Edition (with eXtra PE, Master gun barrels, and a resin pilot) from Plastmodel.pl When I checked out - on monday evening - they still had 3 Special Edition and 12 standard kits available ( which means they expect a number of boxes to arrive soon) Hubert 3 1
harv Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Is there anyone stateside that carries them ?....harv 3
1to1scale Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 This is my most anticipated model this year, it’s only second by my #1, the Aichi Val. 4

HubertB Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Well, ok. I am even weaker than that ! After seeing some pics and reviews, that showed some, of which a major one, mistakes had been corrected, I finally could not resist and ordered a newly released kit. Good news is I can get the - unbuilt- paper version I had vertically filed. Bad news is it is going to take a lot more space in the stash than the paper kit... Let the guessing game begin until the (very) big box arrives and is posted in the « What did you just get » thread Hubert PS: another piece of good news is that the many books I have on the subject can at last be put to good use ! 3

harv Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 I got a quote from them for $58 for the bonus kit, but that's without shipping from them....harv 2

I went to order from Plastmodel.pl and they don’t ship to the USA. United States is not an available Country. 3
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted March 1, 2020 Author Administrators Posted March 1, 2020 I notified Hannants to let me know when they have them in stock, so we’ll see. 1 1
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted March 1, 2020 Author Administrators Posted March 1, 2020 Yep. Ive waited for this for a long, long time. The P.11C is easily one of my all time favorites. There’s not a lot of Polish aircraft I don’t like, actually. This one definitely punched far, far above its weight. 4
