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 Dąbrowski 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 fighters, were easy target for the German “Meshersmiths”.
Beautiful and sophisticated model with full details of cabins, bomb chambers. A lot of glazed surfaces really show, that this model is not suitable for beginner modelers, and "access" will definitely have a place to appear. Two full PZL P.37A models can be assembled from the publication, one depicting an aircraft of the Polish Military Aviation 72.11 from 1 Aviation Regiment, 212 squadrons, built for the funds, collected by the employees of Polish banks and the Warsaw Stock Exchange, the other - an aircraft of the Royal Romanian Air Force from 1 Bomber Fleet in Brasow (same unit 72.11, taken over). The publication is completed with laser-cut parts from 1 mm cardboard for one model.
