The Year of the Pole continues

As I said previously, 2018 is the Year of the Pole.  Well, now comes news that IBG will be producing a Lublin R-XIII.  This will be a welcome addition to the Year of the Pole.

2018: Year of the Pole

The number of new kits of WWII Polish aircraft coming out this year is amazing.  Looking forward to this one.

Arma PZL P.11c

The entire Arma line looks interesting.  I really want this one.  Between this and the AMG early 109s, we can do the Polish campaign justice.

Another PZL.37

I previously blogged about the IBG 37.  Now Fly is coming out with one, and their box art even shows the Romanian markings I am interested in.

Man, this looks good

The IBG PZL.37.  I will need one of these to do in Romanian markings.

P-7a

As I’ve noted previously, this year we are going to get a lot of models of aircraft used in the 1939 Poland campaign.  Arma has released a P-7a kit as used in 1939.  It looks good.

Oh boy, oh boy!

IBG is bringing it in 2018.  Some huge needs being met for Polish and Romanian fans.

Anti-missile deployment

The US is deploying a new generation of anti-missile technology in Poland.  It is based on the Aegis system.

Poland increases the size of its army by 50%

Poland is expanding its army from a 100,000 man force to 150,000.  I think this is smart, thought I suspect that Putin is more likely to try to destabilize Poland politically and foment a revolt.  If I was a Polish citizen, I’d be nervous.

Arma PZL-11

Arma is doing a PZL-11 as a follow up to their very nice PZL-7 kit.  Poland is finally getting the attention it deserves.
