PZL P42c /IAR60

[63cpe]

Had this Revell PZL P11c banging about. A nice little kit, nice and crisp in detail but didn't find any inspiration to whif the plane. Until I found some Macchi 200 wings and figured it might look good to lower it wings. It's look reminds me on the IAR 80.  So I check the history of the IAR 80 and found out it's origins are with the PZL 11 ( Rumania imported P11's and re-engined it, it's own aircraft industry developed the re-engined P11's into the IAR 80). So why not build it as a lovechild of the Polish/Rumanian aircraft industry?

The engine is from an Aoshima zero...The plastic of the cowling was about 2 mm thick!
Hope you like it. no clue on the paintscheme yet, all suggestions are welcome.
Too bad that nice and crisp detail is lost by sanding the front and make it fit for the engine.

I like it. Perhaps some pods under the wings to double the armament?

Assuming it's keeping an open canopy, then pre-War Royal Romanian AF ? Brown/Green uppers and light blue lower surfaces with those lovely RRAF markings ?
