The second color has been added....

... and now the third.

All parts now have to be put together, adding all the smaller details and decals.

I do like this

Hmm, how did Brittney Spears say?

Opps, I did it again....

To bad, again the landing gear mount fell into the wing. And now there is no change to take the win apart again to rescue it. it was the same one that I "fixed" before.

So, its always good to have an engineer around to develop a "Plan B". The idea is to print a new mound that fills the complete wing. So that it cannot fall into it again.
Here is a first test to check the dimensions.

Adding the final printed version, in a comparison to the original one that is in the other side. This has to be removed as well.

Now both parts are added, have to fix the black paint, so lets get the airbrush again.

And after adding all engines, it looks almost like a finished aircraft. With the colors, it gets some kind of British look&feel.

I hope that no other parts make "plopp" now.

So do I, but with your engineering skills I'm sure you could find a solution

Amazing project! Love to see this finished.

It's such a pickle to enlongate those lovely PZL wings and horizontal tailplanes. But you managed to do this easily. Bravo!

The PZL-237 is now finally standing on its own wheels:

A few smaller things are still missing and then i can add the decals.

Absolutely

The PZL 237 is now ready for the decals.

PR19_Kit · June 01, 2025, 06:45:54 AM

And very splendid it looks too, decals or not.

When it comes to national markings the Poles quite often used ones of different sizes on the upper and lower wings and they were also not symetrical when it came to placement. It was meant to confuse an attacking pilot when he was trying to assess range etc.

The broadness of the wings remind me if the Stirling. Yet, having bult a Lós, l know it is a very PZL tuing too.
