Kendzior 788 Posted November 29, 2016 Hi All, One of my long distance projects: PZL. 43A from Mirage Hobby, started about two years ago... Tough kit, lot of fitting problems, brittle plastic and unclear instructions - but if you want to build one, this is the only way. Hope the result will be worth the effort. Going to build it in the Polish Air Force markings, just as it looked like in September 1939. Here you will find two photos: Odkrywca.pl Feel free to comment and stay tuned.

The1971Show 253 Posted December 1, 2016 The kit looks like it will build up into something very attractive; shame about the engineering, though! Looks like you're handling it pretty well, at any rate. Darren 2 Kendzior and mpk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kendzior 788 Posted December 5, 2016 Thanks, Mates. This is such a kit, that brings a new surprise each time you take it on your workbench... this will take few minutes to correct, I hope. Engine in its place. Best regards Hubert 4 Kagemusha, Lars Befring, MARU5137 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClumsyDude 4,111 Posted December 5, 2016 Looking good Hubert. I really like the engine, and the cockpit looks great too. Jim 3 MARU5137, mpk and Kendzior reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MARU5137 14,089 Posted December 5, 2016 Hubert.. SUPERB work so far.. I DO LOVE the EXQUISITENESS of the Engine. 2 Kendzior and mpk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kendzior 788 Posted December 17, 2016 Thanks, Mates Not much of the engine will be seen when its finished, but you're right - it is one of the best points of this kit. Cowling corrected and installed, the model starts to take shape. Hope you like it .

Kendzior 788 Posted July 6, 2017 Six months ... went quickly like it was six days. Added some PE details from Aber, glued the engine cover in place (fit is tight) and starting to finish the interior.

Gazzas 6,038 Posted July 6, 2017 Oh, the interwar years were full of ugly aircraft. Nice work on the engine. 2 Kendzior and mpk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mpk 7,264 Posted July 9, 2017 Looks great Hubert. is your Oscar complete yet? I haven't seen it. 1 Kendzior reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kendzior 788 Posted July 9, 2017 Looks great Hubert. is your Oscar complete yet? I haven't seen it. Both Oscars slowed down again... However, managed to make the overlapping panels and prime the airframe. The effect is so delicate that it is barely visible on the photos, so didn't post them. Hope to get back to it soon, now I'm trying to finish the Spitfire. Thanks for comments, best regards Hubert 1 mpk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kendzior 788 Posted August 7, 2017 Hi, All Small progress, but slowly approaching the painting stage ... Now working on the etched details (Eduard's set for PZL.23B) and transparent parts, there are many small windows, especially on the underside of the plane. The engine cowling still needs some attention, wasn't easy to fit the engine inside (the fit is very tight) resulting with a small gap between the cowling parts.
