I agree on two points...  one...It's a great looking build!  Two...  it's a fugly aircraft

I agree on only one point, Ernie your build does the fine lines of the PZL justice. You have to love these gullwings, what a silhouette.

Cheers Rob

Nice work, Ern!

haha. Thanks Gazz.

If you can picture the plane in NMF with yellow wings, a speed ring on the engine, or better tet a bumped cowl like a Stinson SR-8 with an open hub prop, followed by wheel spats, you begin to see the beauty of the design.

It's actually not an ugly airplane. The classic gull wing is pure winged nirvana, and either a speed ring or an open radial would smarten this ship right up.

Polish khaki is one of those colors that just sucks in light and destroys it, so that's not the best way to be able to judge the beauty of a design.

I agree with Ernie.  I thought this was a butt ugly airplane (beautiful kit though) until I saw the picture Hubert posted of the white one with wheel pants.  That was a beauty! It's like the stereotypical nerdy girl in a movie that takes her glasses off and let's down her hair.

I always thought camo was applied to actually camouflage the appearance of the plane, shame that these brave Polish Airforce men didn't bother with us modelers and our esthetic claims ;)

I think the things that I find unattractive are the Cone-shaped spinner and the un-tapered cowl.  The rest, bar the Polish khaki is fine with me.  The Khaki reminds me too much of "gówno".

As in Col. Bat Guano?

Well folks, I’ll have a few pointers to show tomorrow, but as we sit right now, this little aircraft is almost finished.

She needs wheels, oil cooler, Venturi, windscreen, and find out where the pitot tube flew to, and reattach it.

A bit of a flat coat applied so my Bragdon powders stick better. I’ll just use a bit of soot around the engine and cowl.

Then string the dipole and I’ll call her done.

Heh...  I actually took a few minutes to use Google Translator to turn a common English word into Polish.  Glad you got the sentiment...lol

Looks awesome!

Oh Ernie, she looks great, what a nice little plane, even sleek. I can envision a 'what if' racer and can't wait to see the PZL in metal livery by Hubert. 
Makes me almost regret that I postponed the purchase, because of WNW panic buys.

Cheers Rob
