Jniewiad, I used only part of the Maxi Masks for the insignia. Wibault’s plates on the wings were the biggest challenge for me and the masks (especially narrow red borders of the insignia). Due to the small surface of the masks they were not able to stick to the wings. Additionally, it seems to me that bottom wings insignias are little bit too big. For the squadron number, emblem etc. some Techmod’s decals were used. I am really impressed of the quality of the decals.

Steve Eagle Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Very nice. Have always like the looks of the plane. Had the Mirage kit, but sadly didn’t finish it. This looks more appealing to me. Your efforts have produced a very nice example. Congratulations. Mariusz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Palimaka Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 That is beautiful Mariusz!! The build, the finish, the weathering are outstanding...and the photography too. And you did it so quickly!! Can't wait to start mine, I hope it comes out half as nice as yours. Excellent workmanship! Richard Mariusz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariusz Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) R Palimaka, in my personal opinion the IBG’s model and its engineering is very supportive to achieve a very good effect in short time, even for guys as me who are new in 1/32 scale. There are only few thing’s requiring correction. The biggest challenge for me was figuring out what type of wings were used on Skalski’s plane ( with or without MGs, how many bomb racks were installed etc.) Fortunately the Krzysztof Sikora article (in Polish) in www.minireplika.pl gave me a lot of answers: https://www.minireplika.pl/index.php/29-uzupelnienia-korekty/143-p-11c-stanislawa-skalskiego Edited May 2, 2020 by Mariusz R Palimaka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been to Torun a couple of times and never knew it had an airbase in 1939. Mariusz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quang Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) It would also be useful to check the gunsight viewing system and the respective positions of the bead and the ring. It even happens to the best to do it the wrong way round Edited May 2, 2020 by quang Mariusz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariusz Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Quang thank you. Shame on me, fortunately easy to fix. Let’s assume that it was maintenance team joke for pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
