PZL P.24F „Greece 41“ – the Polish/ Greek fighter

It turned out, that the wing of the PZL P.11c fighter is so strong, that it can withstand the effects of a more powerful installed armament and a more powerful engine. A new modification of the P. 11c was constructed after changing the fuselage and installing another engine in it and an armament, consisting of two 20 mm cannons and two machine guns in the wing. In 1933 the test pilot took to the air for the first time with the PZL P.24 fighter prototype, the tests of which were completed in February 1934. Although the plane was almost unused in its home country, its export career was successful. At one time it was of great interest to France as its main fighter. But the doctrine, that one should have only one's own, albeit worse, planes in one's aviation prevented the realization of these plans. On November 16, 1936 a contract was signed with Greece for the delivery of 36 P.24F and P.24D fighters. However, after the delivery of the first 5 fighters, Greece changed the order and ordered the P.24F and P.24G versions. These fighters formed the lion's share of the Greek fighter force and were used even in 1941, when it was attacked by the armies of Mussolini and Hitler.

This publication offers You to make a simple, well-designed and detailed Greek Military AF P.24F. The model is suitable for modelers of any experience, but it is better for beginners to glue it under the supervision of a more experienced colleague and not as one of the first more complex models.
