does anyone know what plane this is?

does anyone know what plane this is? i built it in 1996 and now i cant remember what its called. it had polish insignias. i posted this in this forum because people here would have more expertise in this than the model section.

thanks

 

looks like a PZL (P11)

 

Do I see red-whites squares at the tailfin? That lookes like Polish insignia.

It is an RWD-14 Czapla. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RWD-14_Czapla



The engine cowl on the PZL is not the same and the wing angles down to give the pilot a better view. (see below)



Also it looks like the landing gear has some kind of suspension whereas the PZL does not.

 

Good catch Pzjgr, I should have known that . One must admit they look alike .

 

They do at that Skipper. Just saw pics from different angles and I knew it was a different plane. That wing design is rather odd. Provides one large blindspot left and right front.

It was a toughie to find. :S!

 

Might want to do a little dusting first!

 

Shouldn't have to wait for Belsar to do his dusting...don't worry mate...the mods round here eh.....Just put em up...looks good....

As for Belsar....what day do you doi your washing and we'll all stop doing ww2

 

Hey I'm smart enough not to leave photographic evidence, if you watched more CSI you would know these things!

 

yup, thanks, i remember the word Czapla now.

nice of you to ask

i left these models at the Berkeley California Ace hardware store hobby section display cabinet back 1996, theyve been there ever since. i moved to NY in 2003 and i hadnt seen them in 11 years so last week i asked if they would take pictures and email to me. they are all 1/72nd scale.

dornier Do G-1
SNCASO SO.6000 Triton
Lockheed F-94C Starfire

 

im afraid to ask them to dust, i think that might be how the propeller blades got broken off.

Lavochkin 176
vacuform Sukhoi Su-5 jet/prop, it has a jet in the back
dinah KI-46

 

mig 15 twin seater
Heinkel He 70
Bloch 152
vickers wellesly

 

these models at the store are all the models i have left, my 2 best models broke when i had to take a 100 dollar greyhound bus ride back to new york, the vacuform myasishchev M-52 bounder which won model of the month at the san hose silicon valley IPMS meeting, and the scratchbuilt Breguet 763 which also won model of the month at a san hose silicon valley IPMS meet. i really hope i can get back the lockheed chain lightning and P-1A. i continued making models on the computer for the x-plane flight simulator and have been able to make a small income on that:

Kawanishi E15K Shiun with counter rotating props, a bottom blade broke off:

 

Love hearing little tidbits like that

(I like the dust, too)

 

I first thought it was the Fiat CR. 42 but I was wrong. Not sure but it looks Polish.

 

i remember it had polish decals and remember the word "Czapla", that must be it.

i asked them to send me 6 of them, hopefully i will receive soon, i really liked the paint schemes on the two japanese ones
