Very nice outcome! The engines were exported to Poland, but also built in Poland as license version called PZL Pegaz. The elements under wings are oil coolers. Doesn't the model miss the navigation lights? ;) Greetings from Poland! There is a film on my channel "PZL.37 Łoś i Las Dłutowski" showing a crash site memorial and a different approach to what the colors might have been, as nobody knows how did the PZL 37 truly look like.
Awesome work, great to see some more niche subjects, I dont mind 190s and tigers but they do get samey, it's nice to break it up with some of the lesser known vehicles.
great job! Exhaust collectors on front of engine nacelles have slightly´wrong colot tho. in most sources it was describet as "rust" but it looks like it was polished brass like in Blenheim or Gladiator...
I've had this in my stash for a while and I really need to do it. I really love the PZL line of aircraft and that this came in both a single and dual tail version. You did such a fabulous job on this actually really modern part of the Polish air force! 💜💜
This khaki is too light . PZL-37s were darker, like milk chocolate 😀... and they were silver inside. Also I see lack of kind of trap on right wing. Besides it, great finish. You made beautiful model.
@@ModellingWeekly I don't want to be annoying, but as I have watched this video for the second and third time, I have a feeling the khaki colour is a little bit too pale. It's a difficult thing with Polish aeroplanes colours because for many years they were considered as khaki and light blue (close to RLM65). Now it's more like more brownish khaki - the closest to this shade is Hataka. But you know... the situation is similar to Soviet aeroplanes from ww2... for years it was accepted they were brown and green until some closer researches proved their colours were different. It doesn't change my point of view, that your model is awesome :)
@@scalemodellerbyaccident8671 I totally agree, I think the shade is a bit off. Had loads of different sources with slightly different shades, so just thought f*ck it and went for the tamiya colour lol
@@ModellingWeekly Yeah, sometimes it's not worth of wasting your life for searching a perfect shade. Btw. I always stick to Tamiya and Mr.Hobby acrylics but I decided to give a chance AK's 3rd gen water acrylics. In couple of weeks I'll be wiser about this experience.
@@ModellingWeekly I really enjoyed your work on this nice kit. I plan to build this aircraft from a very old kit from the company Mikro72 and I will definitely be very happy to be inspired by your work 😎👍
I've only come across your channel and are impressed with watching this build. Great job both visually and with the commentary. Great.....I will very much enjoy seeing your other work!!
Many thanks man, not for a competition though - just my entry to my own group build lol. That would be funny though, judging myself for the competition 😂😅anyway....thanks for taking a look!
A very interesting subject you don’t see very often. I like the choice of post shading. Looks much better. There are also stencils for sale which can give very nice weathered effects. Though the Infinity (I presume you use) does a very good freehand job. Giving the airplane a totally realistic appearance. It’s almost a shame that I build tanks. You’re very good in the braille scale. Making the model look like a much larger scale.
@@ModellingWeekly you’re welcome. They work especially well when applied sparsely in a slightly lighter shade of paint. Just like you did with highlights on those panels. They can be bought from Vallejo and AK in a kind of plastic or vinyl and then there are those made out of paper or cardboard. My experience is that they work really well when you build planes. Due to the large surface of the wings. I’ve also seen stencils for Luftwaffe camouflage patterns. Anyone who ever built one of those planes know that these patterns are virtually impossible to airbrush with a freehand. I’m not certain if they can be bought in 1/72 scale. I’ve not used them myself. I hope you’ll be able to get them and try it out. Cheers, Any.
I'm so sorry I haven't discovered your channel sooner. I'm going back to watch your previous posts. Thanks for sharing with us PS try using a toothpick (cocktail stick) to pry up the canopy mask. You won't get any scratches as wood doesn't scratch plastic. cheers mate
Nice paint job but the build needs more attention; the gaps in the wing roots for example. Did you also forget to put in the wing lights, or do they just not show up properly on the video?
Thanks, the wing root gaps were intentional, as there would be a panel line at that section anyway, and I would rather leave them than ruin the surrounding detail with filling and sanding. It's not the best thing to do, I admit, but it was calculated to a certain extent. In regards to the lights, I have just realised I forgot to glue them in! Ill do that now lol. Thanks for letting me know 😂
Nice build. Does anyone know the reason why the national insignia on the upper starboard wing of Polish aircraft is offset to the centre of the span rather than being closer to the wing tip as on the port wing?
Their asymmetrical placement made it difficult to assess the distance and course of the aircraft, as well as resulted in reflexive aiming at a point centrally located between them (thus reducing the likelihood of hitting a vulnerable engine or cockpit) Of course, this did not protect against a hit, but it increased the chances of avoiding it.
I could possibly in the future, though I'm limited on funds and workspace so I'm having to stick to what's in my stash. I'd recommend checking out a review on YT, or maybe checking scalemates 👍🏻
Don't worry, here we go: brown should be darker, rlm65 should be silver instead, engine cowlings should be bronze, interior should be khaki brown. I know lol.
1. Yes, you can build it out the box. Of course you can. But its my choice to use aftermarkets or not. 2. I spent £7 on aftermarket products...tiny PE fret and vinyl masks...hardly that much, is it?
@@ModellingWeekly oh no my friend, I'm not telling you not too. Just that me and others would like to see a out of the box build so we can use you skills as a guide that's all. HeckI'm in full agreements with you. I guess I'm a basic guy. I told another builder this, and I'll share it with you. I joined a group and I put a couple of photos of a kit i built. I was told I shouldn't post on the group as we are experienced builders, you'd be better off in a beginners group. Well i've been builder for several years but I have limited sight and I can't super detail of I may get a dab of chrome paint on the body.. Please, no offense
@@danaringquist9730 sorry for taking it the wrong way. I agree, there are some very toxic communities out there, you do you and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
I think, the olive drab is too light. Hugo Jäger, a German propaganda photographer, made some color photos in late 1939 of captured Polish aircraft, among them several PZL 37 light bombers. These factory-fresh aircraft, which had been sabotaged to various degrees, carried dark khaki on the uppersides (similar to FS 30097, according to IPMS Stockholm) and a silverish paint on the lower surfaces. A bit annoying is the omnipresent stain on the aircraft. Is it really necessary to finish EVERY aircraft model, as if it stood unprotected in the open for several months? A bit more fantasy, please!
I agree the khaki is too light. In answer to your question about weathering aircraft, it's to make it somewhat interesting to look at. I don't know about you, but I think it looks a lot more dynamic with the distressing than without :)
