Silver Wings

Outstanding build! Congratulations Eric!

Maybe you try writing a book instead of copy pasting pieces of the aircraft's history...

Gentlemen, First of all we appreciate starting this topic, where you share your tips on how to build the PZL. We totally understand that corrugations and how it's made might be a great subject of discussion. However, let's remember some facts: this is a resin kit (not plastic injected), this is "only" a 1/32 scale and 3d printing has limitations. Being that said, we confirm that the number of corrugations is not the same as originally. Simply, resin casting technology is not so sophisticated despite our best will and extensive experience We enjoyed releasing this special Polish fighter and hope your feeling about the kit are positive too. Please keep sending us your remarks and comments - thanks to us, our friends and customers we can improve our products. Enjoy your Sunday! Simon

As our company (Silver Wings) has been mentioned here, we felt we should post a response of some kind to clarify the situation. We have had previous business dealings with this company, and it is true that they used to print our instructions and boxes (no more, no less). However, we encountered some ethical issues with this company which caused us to cease dealing with them. We will not post them here, however, if anyone feels they need more information about the matter, please contact me directly and I will share the details. Simon

At Silver Wings, we are always focused on providing high-quality kits of interesting subjects for our friends and customers. For 2015, we are pleased to announce some changes that we hope you find as exciting as we do! A long-awaiting kit, the previously announced Fokker D.XXI is now available to buy, and the PZL P.11 is almost ready and will become available during next two months. As we continue to branch out and expand our subject matter from our "silver wing" roots, we also have a couple surprises coming for fans of Italian and Russian aircraft. We have also made some changes to the design of both our instructions and boxes which we hope you will like! Additionally, we are pleased to announce a new category of Silver Wings Kit - the Silver Limited Edition kit. The concept with these kits will be subjects which we feel deserve a little something extra. The Silver Limited Edition kits will include a distinctive box design with original "in motion" drawings, a high-quality printed poster, additional metal parts (such as gun barrels), and increased amount of available markings included in the box. Silver Limited Edition kits will be produced in a very limited series which from definition will not be repeated once sold-out. Speaking of new kits, we are pleased to be able to kick off 2015 with our first new kit of the year, the Fokker D.XXI. It has three colorful markings schemes - two Dutch and one German. We are now ready to accept orders for this kit. Please write us at silverwings@silverwings.pl for order details or order via you local distributors website. More photos at www.silverwings.pl. Sincerely, The Silver Wings Team

Tnarg, thank you.

Gentlemen, Since you're mentioning us, we fell obliged to explain as we don't want to be associated with the copany you mention above. We know the owner. The Lukgraph company started producing models in late 2014 and before that, its owner has been working for us as a person printing our boxes and instructions for many years. The story is that one day he asked us to join our business as an owner, just like that. It was one of these offers somebody expects you not to refuse. Of course we refused because it's our family business and we don't find any reason to invite third persons to it, since we put so much effort during past years to create Silver Wings. Then he started threatening us and claiming we won't find anybody who will be printing for us, what of course was ridiculous. Soon after he quit. We paid our dues, but he took some of our equipment without permission anyway. He stole our website texts, word by word, our graphic designs, marketing ideas etc. We felt like someone took our child. So we decided to bring legal action against him. Finally he decided to bring our goods back and change his website content but as far as everyone can see, he's still using our instructions design, some fonts and ideas. That's all. The conclusion on what kind of company they are - seems to be clear. Coming back to our releases, we haven't quit any of aforementioned, please keep checking our website and LSP subforum for news Simon

Dear Friends and Customers, Since the beginning of work on the Fokker DXXI and PZL P.11, we rightly assumed that they would be very ambitious projects. We want to give modellers a thrill while opening these boxes. The size and complexity of the models, which are their key advantages, have a decisive influence on the course of a production. Now, nearly completing the work, we can see how many details still need to be fixed. Releasing such historically significant subjects, we must make sure that any errors are eliminated to a level allowing full enjoyment of the box' content. Looking realistically at the current progress and remaining workload, we came to the conclusion that we need a little more time. The team is working at the maximum speed but we need additional few weeks and therefore have to move the Fokker DXXI's release date forward to the end of January. We feel that we owe you apologies for this. We admit we set the initial date too soon and it is our lesson for the future. We duly apologize and we thank you for the support you show us every day. We really appreciate it. It gives us extra strength. The Silver Wings Team

For those who don't track our sponsore part of the forum: Get ready for a soon premiere! 1/32 Fokker D.XXI fighter model kit in progress....

that's right

Ryan, it's not Czech. It's Dutch

Most likely the Fokker will become available in about 1-2 months. The PZL P.11 - 2-3 months after. We have all hands on deck doing our 200%
