Here
it is my aircraft model. It is a PZL P.11c in 1/48 scale of Mirage Hobby. I
build the aircraft in 30 hours and I build it
practically from the box. I
have added the wheels of Contact resin set
and decal from an Aeromaster decal sheet about Polish Air Force. The
Mirage kit is not difficult to build . I have started from the cockpit and I
only add some wires. Moreover in the kit there are photoethced sheet with all
about the cockpit. The PZL P.11c is needed of a very little bit plastic putty.
The
only critical area is represented by the wing. It be needed of attention
to give it the right position and diedral angle. Other part to be
needed of some attention is represented by wheel legs. I have add a copper wire
in sostitution of etched brass: it is a little realistic.

When
the building is completed I have painted the aircraft with Light Blue (similar
of RLM 65) for downside of wings and horizontal rudder and with Olive Drab for
upper surfaces and all fuselage.
Than
I have spraying entire model kit with gloss varnish and I have positioned the
decals being careful with white decals on the upper surfaces of the wing.
Than I have washed my P.11c with Terra di Siena Bruciata: I have used a acrylic
oil paint. Finally I have add all the external details and antennas.
I
have assembled the engine and the propeller (that I have painted in Flat Black
and drybrush with Extra Dark Grey; while the ring is paited with a mix of reds
varnish: I have used Humbrol paint).
Now
my PZL P.11c is finished.
Good
modelling ! ! !
