Very clean and careful build! Excellent rigging! Incredible: a 1/72 scale build?

The panel lines come out quite strong. Apart from that it is a very precise and clean build of an interessting subject.

Thanks all so far! @Neuling - yes, this is indeed a 1/72 scale 🙂 Though frankly - a lot of the effect is just simply very well made moulds from Arma!
@Michael Kohl - yes, panel lines are quite prominent and on the wing especially, I also added a strong accent to better define the shape of the aircraft - but refrained from washing the corrugated sheets (which I saw some did). All in all we have our own taste in those areas 🙂 Many thanks!
Album info
One of the latest, small projects was a little what if combining a Polish aircraft-symbol with some rather unusual (but not entirely impossible) markings. See, as I view it, with P.11 there are two main problems - it's such an iconic aircraft that almost every Polish modeller makes one and the second - virtually all built planes are known and there is a very limited choice of paining and marking option. If you aim for historical accuracy - you're left with either Polish or Romanian air force. And it's been done. Countless times.
I wanted to be a little more original, so I made myself a small thought experiment - what if either the Finns bought some brand new P.11c's for their AF or just before the Talvisota Poland had maybe 4 new machines to spare. Maybe to help the fellow nation and at the same time see how this plane would fare in the harsh, northern weather?
After all - Finland was interested in buying some PZL 37 Moose bombers...
