In the late 1930s, Polish bomber aviation was morally obsolete. Therefore, the Military Aviation Authority ordered the State Aviation Workshop (PZL) to build a modern bomber, and appointed engineer Jerzy Dambrowski as the head of the group. The prototype PZL P-37 / I was first launched in December 1936 and submitted for testing. They were successfully completed and a pilot series of 10 aircraft was commissioned to address the shortcomings identified, which was completed in early 1938. Later, the planes were manufactured with a tail of two keel and had better properties, than the first ten produced. A total of 124 units were produced. Unfortunately, the start of the war thwarted all of Poland's plans to rearm, and “Loš's” planes, which were used without the cover of fighter jets, were easy target for the German “Meshersmiths”.
Beautiful and sophisticated model with full details of cabs, bomb chambers. A lot of glazed surfaces really show, that this model is not suitable for beginner modelers, and "asses" will definitely have a place to appear. Two full PZL P.37B models can be assembled from the publication, one of which depicts 72,115 aircraft of the Polish Military Aviation from 17 Bombers Squadron, XV Bomber Division, which was based at Warsaw's Okecie Airport at the beginning of the war. Another model depicts the Romanian Royal Air Force bomber 218 from the I Bombers Fleet in Brasov. The publication is completed with laser-cut parts from 1 mm cardboard for one model.
