Preview: IBG's new 32nd scale PZL P.11c test shot...

IBG's signature 1/32nd scale kit of their native Polish PZL P.11c fighter from the early years of WWII is already at test shot phase, and we have some pictures of the sprues and test build-up of the kit in its near-final development phase...

Kit Nos: #32001 #32003L
1/32nd scale
Photo-Etch included
IBG from Polan has always championed their native aircraft and AFV's in their line up, and so they must be pretty proud of the results of this, their new PZL P.11c in 32nd scale that is about to be released. We have some pictures from their Facebook page of the kit in its test build form and a few points of interest about the kit...
From the IBG Facebook page (the website is temporarily down and being upgraded) we have this message:
"IBG Models 1/32 PZL P.11c is being packed, it will be available any day now! In the meantime check out the details of the kit in the prototype build gallery by Andrzej "Flacha" Ligocki. Certainly, the hottest premiere of this year when it comes to aircraft models issued by Polish companies. Legendary PZL P.11C in 1/32nd scale."

The impressive engine and rugged from that the fuselage is melded around
Speaking of strong tubular framing, the internals of the structure showing the detail of the kit and the cockpit which is very detailed...
The internal workings of the two side-mounted machine guns can be displayed in this kit - they look pretty nice from here...
The front main landing gear on display, with the small photo-etched strips acting as the replica of the real aircraft's struts in scale.
Posable tail surfaces on this kit - lovely ribbed and proud riveted texture on the tail that replicates the real aircraft nicely... 
All this in combination makes what we think will change a few people's perceptions about IBG's capacity to make a very nice large-scale kit like this...
There are two variants available of the kit, the #32001 - PZL P.11c Basic Version & the #32003L - PZL P.11c Limited Edition.  More about both of these kits when they are released in the very near future.
