I read in Air Space Magazine many moons ago that the production supervisor for the Baade 152 was a real stickler. He would run cotton balls down a rivet line to see if any fibers were snagged. They also made mention of a design defect in the fuel system that caused it to crash on the way to a flight display (if I remember correctly).

It spoke himself that from political reasons. Soviets decided that within of COMECON Poland to specialize in the production of agricultural planes and gliders.
But reasons are surely more complicated. Also economic. Individually Poland was not in standing to work out from the scratch the fuselage, engines, avionics etc.
But according to remembrances of the constructor, was decisive the Soviet factor.
