Hello all, I was wondering if anyone has come across any manuals or diagrams for the Polish fighter, PZL.11 (or sometimes P.11) particularly of the cockpit and jettisonable fuel tank. Thank you

Thanks. I've seen those before, but I'm a bit wary about using them. My plane is from a different squadron, and from photos, there were many variations on a color scheme. I'm trying to use the photos exclusively, but photography can really play ticks on you. :) I wonder what source the...

Ah, ok I could have thought of that, lol :oops: Thanks, I'll try this out as soon as I can.

How are custom decals made? I've only ever seen the above method used. Google search doesn't turn up anything... No matter though, I'll be doing the Navy scheme 8)

I realize that printing would be the best way to go, but I simply don't have the necessary things to do that - color printer, decal paper, etc. I don't think there are aftermarket sheets that include this plane. I'll keep searching.

I just found this box top that illustrates almost exactly what I want to do. The only thing I would do differently is delete the gun camera, and paint the N struts bare metal.

It is isn't it? The irony is that I now know exactly how to paint the famous "white 6" which is represented on the sheet, but still can't because the rooster looks more like a penguin with a hat. I don't want to sound like I'm complaining, but it's not 'just a chicken'. :) The decal provided...

Thanks Wurger, these photos are helping me a great deal! One thing I've noticed is a black region on the leading edge of the lower wing. The ground crew could push the plane around by the lower wing (photos show this), so I imagine this was there to prevent damage to the fabric. I've not seen...

Here are two great builds that demonstrate some of the controversy that I'm trying to resolve, particularly with the colors of the wings: VS. Is this the publisher? (Gosh, all I do is ask questions it seems...)

Yeah, but sadly HB doesn't make a Ni-D 62 now do they? :p That's not going to solve my painting woes anyway : / I'm trying to use photographic evidence, but the play of light on those old films are really making the task of figuring out paint patterns impossible... So, here's some other stuff...

Thanks so much for those links. Every time I pick up what looks like an easy kit, I end up having to pull my hair over paint schemes and other details. I need an easy OOB for my nerves :lol: Looking at the decal for the rooster artwork, it is apparent that it is completely wrong in...

Hi everyone, I hope this is the right place to start this thread. If it's not, please feel free to move it. :oops: I have severall questions regarding Heller's 1/72 Nieuport Delage NiD-622, specifically, this plane: The box says it flew in the 6th sqadrion, 34th regiment(?) in Strasbourg...
