Revell 1/72 PZL P-11C

[Tommergun]

With all my current projects in the paint phase, and I since I can't use my garage paint booth for the week (I brush paint very little), I have to start a new project! I'll be kit-bashing these Revell and (I think) Encore P-11C kits since both have missing parts. Neither had a box, nor instructions, but I found some on Scalemates. I might be able to salvage the decals, I won't know until I soak them, but I have a feeling they'll crumble.

Both kits were also missing the windscreen which I'll have to scratchbuild at some point.

Build-up is done, here's the mock-up. Now just waiting for access to my paint booth.



Probably will go with this scheme:

That wing profile so pronounced! Almost organic like a gull... must have been great for visibility.
As an early (I assume) monoplane, did it have good performance?

Cutting-edge for Poland in the mid 30's, obsolete but their prime fighter when Germany invaded in 1939.

I started out with some white Vallejo surface primer I wanted to use up but it kept clogging the airbrush (I probably just needed to strain it), so I switched over to trusty Auto-Borne Sealer.

Paint...mask...paint...mask....pesky sharp-edge multi-color camo.

Base camo done. I see some areas to touchup.
