Maciej BellosLove it! I've read the story some time ago. I think it was returned, right?

Robert PodkońskiThanks for your interest, Mates, much appreciated. @Maciej - indeed, the plane was returned, but the pilot remained in the West.

Robert PodkońskiThanks, Mates - it is a very well engineered kit... and it contains pre-cut mask for the canopy as well!
Maciej - FYI, it is an aerial modification of long-forgotten yet effective device recently (re)discovered in the Kraków Castle cellars (a battering ram!) 😉

Maciej BellosI kind of remember visiting a strange museum in Kraków. I vaguely remember it as a "means of torture" exhibition... Ah those medieval ages... Savages!!!! 😄
