Being in the States I'm not familiar with that plane but I really like the looks of it , I've always like all types of seaplanes !

It looks great Pat , thanks for posting !

Thanks Bob. This is the kit..

Although 1/72nd scale I didn't realise just how small it was until I opened the box! There was also two sheets of Photo-Etch, but it was too small to use, for me anyway!

This is a Romanian version of a Polish fighter plane https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PZL_P.11 One of the first kits I built in my childhood (in nearly '70s) was that aircraft. Not this specific kit, but a Polish made kit. Mine had wheeled landing gear. The kit included a small vial of liquid cement but no paint.  Some good memories here.

No, they're very similar.

On your post it says, 1/2, is there a 4 or 5 missing?

[Classicgas]

1/72. Fumble fingers lol.

[PatW]

That's the same scale. Yes the PE must look good, but difficult for me.

They were fighter planes. Quite advanced when designed in 1930-32. Better than anything the Americans had at the time. But it was still in some squadrons in 1940, and by then it was outclassed. 

But, for a little while, the Polish AF had one of the best fighter planes in the world.

Yeah it pushed me almost beyond my limits.

[PatW]

[Classicgas]
