PZL.37B

IBG has release another boxing of this kit and this is one I am interested in since it will help complete the Romanian collection.

And this is why you need the Second Amendment

so you don’t end up fighting a terrorist with a Narwhal tusk, especially when he appears to have an explosive suicide vest on. BTW, the guy wielding the tusk is a Polish chef.  Don’t piss off the Poles.

Polish defense upgrades

It appears that Poland will upgrade its submarine force by purchasing second hand Swedish subs.  You don’t think much about Poland having a naval presence, but it has a significant Baltic coastline.

Words that 30 years ago I never thought I’d utter

Gee, I wonder which manufacturer makes the better PZL.37 Los kit.  We live in the best times for modelers.

PZL P-7 and P-11

Arma has a very nice blog with some nice history articles that tie into their products.  This one is very good.  I will have to check back periodically.

Russian Su-57 reversal

Russia, having previously announced that it was only going to buy 16 Su-57s (after India pulled out of a development deal), has now decided it will buy 76 of the fighters.  Given the reported problems with the aircraft, either they have been solved, or, more likely IMHO, this is more of Russia trying to saber-rattle and impress its neighbors.

It may be related to this, where Poland has announced plans to buy F-35s.

Polish Artillery

It looks like the Poles are going to purchase the US HIMARS system for their army.  This seems to me to be a smart move.  Not only is it a capable system, but the more integrated into NATO equipment, the better off the Polish military is.

IBG PZL P.11A/C/G

Good news.  The long awaited IBG PZL P.11 series of kits looks like it will be out in April 2019.  If they are as good as the recent PZL P.37, then they will be must haves.

 

PZL 23

Looks like IBG is going to release a Romanian marked PZL 23.  Yes, please.

Yet another decal manufacturer

Man, it is tough to keep up with all these.  Here is Exito’s latest sheet.  I’d never heard of them before.  They appear to be a Polish model shop that is making their own decal sheets.
