PZL P.11g „Kobuz“ – the Polish fighter

The PZL P.11a (named "eleven") is a Polish single-engine all-metal construction fighter with a Puławski wing, classic tail and stationary landing gear. The prototype took off for its first flight in 1931, but series production continued from 1937 to 1939. The first production version is the PZL P.11a, powered by the Bristol “Mercury” IV S2 550 h. p. power engine. However, it was treated as a transitional variant, only 50 units were ordered. In the summer the most famous version of the "eleven" appeared - the PZL P.11c. It had an improved fuselage, wing and keel plate. All this improved the aerodynamics of the plane. The engine remained the same. Interest in this aircraft was expressed by Romania, where 95 units of the licensed PZL P.11 were produced at the “IAR” factories. At the start of the war, all versions of the P.11 were much slower, than their German opponents, but they were much more maneuverable, had a high take-off speed and less engine failure, than the German planes. These fighters achieved a number of victories against the enemy during the September campaign, most of them were achieved by units of the Pursuit Brigade. Technical data (version P.11g): length: 7.55 m, wingspan: 10.72 m, height: 2.75 m, maximum speed: 390 km / h, take-off speed: 13m / s, maximum take-off height: 10000 m, maximum flight range - unknown, armament: fixed - 4 machine guns wz.33 cal.7,92 mm.

An excellent model of a small fighter, well designed and well detailed, detailed graphic instructions. A model for modelers of all experience. Working under the supervision of a more experienced colleague, even a modeler with little experience will stick to it perfectly. The model reproduces the fighter of pilot Henrik Szczęsny, with which he achieved two victories during the September War of 1939. Th
