PZL.43A

David Thor
What a strange bird! Looks good so far!

Hubert Kendziorek
Thanks, David - a bit strange indeed; it was an export version of PZL.23 Karaś, produced for Bulgaria. Better engine, larger fuselage - it was looking like a beast. Thanks for comment, glad that you like it 🙂, best regards, Hubert

Hubert,teraz znalazlem Twojego PZL.Ten mi sie tez podoba,calkiem cos innego jak PZL 23. Jakie Farby bierzesz , z jakie Firmy , te Khaki ?

Hubert Kendziorek
Besten Dank, Damian 🙂 It is always hard to find an exact match for this, Polish khaki had many variations and shades. Here I'm using Mr.Hobby's -H421 RLM81 Brown Violet 😉 For your Karaś I would recommend Hataka's set (hataka-hobby.com/pro..air-force-paint-set/), Best regards, Hubert

Wim van der Luijt
interesting plane....count me in!

David Thor
Nice progress!

Christian Ristits
Great interior! Like it very much!

Soeren R.
The cockpit looks really nice.

Hubert Kendziorek
Thanks, Mates 🙂 still a lot to be done, but these Aber and Eduard's etched pieces are a nice addition to this kit indeed. Interesting plane, used by Bulgarians till the end of WW2. A pity we haven't had more of these planes in September'39. Best regards, Hubert

Choppa Nutta
The cockpit looks really nice. 🙂

David Thor
The brown looks great, don´t you use any primer tough?

Hubert Kendziorek
Sure I do, this was only to paint the canopy frames, so that the correct internal colour is visible when finished. When it is dry will spray her with Gunze's surfacer.

Łukasz Gliński
Nice one Hubert, can you say more about those Hataka paints? Wondering how do they work out in the field...

Alec K
Very nice work Hubert. Cockpit looks awesome 👍

Hubert Kendziorek
The Orange line of Hataka paints are the lacquer based paints, work similarly to Gunze's C line, but are almost odorless. The finish is smooth, satin, dry fast - this was the first time I 've used them, but seems that we will be friends. Thanks for watching and comments 🙂 Best regards, Hubert

David Thor
Ah, of course! The canopy frames. 😄

Hubert Kendziorek
Preshaded and riveted.

David Thor
Coming together quite nicely!

Hubert Kendziorek
Thanks 🙂 Hataka's paints (Orange line) work really well. Now some weathering, clear matt and then the guns and the rest of the details - it should go quickly now, in my case a month or three😉

Alec K
It's looking really good Hubert 👍

Gordon Sørensen
Another great looking model, Hubert!

Richmond
Great stuff

Andrey Baranov
It looks great, but why insignias placed so asymmetrical?

Gordon Sørensen
It is historically accurate. Now, why did the Polish do that? That is another question...

Very nice finish Hubert, I like it 👍

Hubert Kendziorek
Thanks for comments, Mates! Asymmetrical placement of the insignia was to confuse the enemy about the actual position of the aircraft - here, however, we have one more interesting detail: the chessboard on the left wing is incorrectly rotated. It is effect of rush - the plane was produced for Bulgaria, prepared for delivery. It was repainted just before the takeover by Polish air force after the outbreak of the war. Best! Hubert
