Mr. Andrzej Andrzejewski from IBG Models has kindly sent us a preview of their incoming 1:72 scale airplane model kits. As a newly tooled kits these will be for sure warmly welcomed by many of us.
I would like to present new materials about 2 first aircraft model kits from IBG Models (both in 1/72):
RWD-8 PWS
RWD-8 DWL
We announced those kits during the Nurnberg fair and showed only the box art. Now I'm sending you a renderings of the plane models.

RWD-8 was a Polish plane designed and produced in the early thirties. It's main role was to be a basic trainer aircraft. It was produced by two different factories simultaneously: PWS and DWL - both versions had some minor differences. PWS factory produced aircraft for both military and civilian use, while DWL focus exclusively on civilian. In total over 550 RWD-8 planes were produced, making it the most numerous Polish plane of its time. RWD-8 was used for liaison and reconnaissance missions during the Defence War of September 1939. Small number of planes were sold to Palestine, Spain, Morocco and Brazil. Moreover, Estonia bought a license to produce RWD-8s. Some of the planes withdrawn from Poland after September 1939 were used by Romanian and Hungarian air forces.

The kits will come out around the middle of this year.

Got to be better than the Mastercraft/ZTS Plastyk offerings. Probably be able to make use of the Part PE set as well.

There's no other option - got to be better. ZTS kit was designed about 25 (or even more) years ago... I still remember building it as a kid. Looking at the latest IBG vehicle kits it will be absolute "must have" for me, for sure more than just one.
