OOOoh...now that's fabulous news!

 

May not excite a lot of people but it's one of my Holy Grails... Don't know anything about Crazy Cat as a company but willing to give them a chance.

It's definitely special, just like the cat

YYEEEEESSSS!  I've been hoping that someone will take a plunge on a Karas. It's so weird, but I love that plane

Oh that’s really nice. I’ve always liked the weird look of that machine! I am keen on knowing more about this kit.

Wow! that's really sensational, thanks for the info.  Cheers.

 Cool

i knew if I bought the paper model that this would happen.  This strategy worked for the VAL.

Well then, let‘s buy a Paper model of a Fairey Battle….😉

Hmmm 

I think I will stick to my strategy and buy the Dornier 17 next.  That in combination with the vacuum formed kit build going on now on LSP should speed things along.

Great news! It's an important aircraft in Polish aviation history! While it may not have had many varied painting schemes (overall khaki with light blue undersides), it did feature different squadron insignia. 

 

A few machines were also used by Romania on Eastern front.

That would be cool to see as a model.  Not cool enough for it to be considered anything but ugly...  but still cool.

Actually, Bulgaria used the PZL P.43. These were aircraft captured by the Germans in September 1939 at the PZL factory in Warsaw and later donated to Bulgaria. They were slightly different from the PZL P.23, featuring a different engine, completely redesigned exhaust pipes, a three-bladed propeller, a modified underside gondola, and some other minor changes.
