That's absolutely great idea... but involves a lot of planes. There was a modeller in Poland, who tried to build all the planes that were used in Poland, his name was Wojciech Butrycz. He passed away few years ago never reaching his goal... Yet part of his collection is exhibited in Polish Aviation Museum in Kraków.

Robert, that's a truly inspirational tale. Well, when I say 'everything' that's almost an impossibility and mostly tongue-in-cheek. Rather, the most prominent and well-known aircraft to those outside Polish aviation circles. Such as myself. I start with the Offag Albatrosen and end with a MiG or two. Naturally, PZL and PWS are a focus along with RWD. Kinda cherry picking. I love these planes.
Rest in Peace, Mr Wojciech Butrycz.

btw Polandball comic strips almost always misrepresent Poland as Indonesia. Anyone know if its intentional (for any reason)? The above character gets it right, except for me the old noble vermillion (blueish shade of red) is POLAND.

Glad to see you also include some Polish gliders in the mix - bring'em on! 👍

Always good to hear from you both. Thank you.
In fact... let's start with the gliders for POLANDWING. Shall we? Yes, we shall. There were six released by that Polish company, and I bought 4 from mojehobby.pl on sale. They're beautiful but can be improved internally, plus airbrakes etc. All 72nd.
A great idea then, Alex. \o/

I think a few distinct paragraphs per album per aircraft will tidy the project up. Camera en route as well. Apparently. Much could be written about, say, the SZD Gil, SZD Zefir, Bocian etc etc. They're little known in the 'west' so a proper write up might be neat.
Thanks, everybody, for the likes and comments. This camera issue has bugged me for too long. I just want to post some good quality images instead of junk.

Album info
Polandwing includes gliders, jets and 1920s biplanes. Anything piloted by plucky Poles.
