#026 PZL P.7a
Building the Arma Hobby PZL P.7a 1:72 expert set. No electronics added - just enjoying this wonderfully detailed kit.
Notes
The PZL P.7a was the main fighter for the Polish Air Force in the early 1930’s.
The Kit
The Arma Hobby 70006 PZL P.7a Expert Set 1/72 is the first kit I’ve bought from this manufacturer. I have heard really good things about them, and I was certainly not disappointed. The expert set is beautifully put together and includes everything needed to produce a great rendering of this interesting aircraft from the interwar years.
Marking Option
There are four schemes offered in the kit. I’ve decided to build:
PZL P.7a, 123. Eskadra Myśliwska z Krakowa. Samolot dowódcy Eskadry kpt. pil. Mieczysława Wiórkiewicza, 1935-1936. (PZL P.7a, 123. Fighter Squadron from Cracow. The aeroplane of the Squadron commander, Cpt. Mieczysław Wiórkiewicz, 1935-1936)
