Interesting choices. Seem to be some under-served kits here...

I bought a couple these, for the Azur PZL P24 and P11, over a month ago. A piece of brass with the details painted on and adhesive on the back. Very similar to Eduard's prepainted, self-adhesive PE sets. The Azur kits contain a comprehensive PE set but lack an instrument panel or a decal for it. As they are much better than you can achieve by painting by hand they make a fairly inexpensive enhancement. I am not sure if they would be an improvement over a decal. The only problem with the P11 is that it is not an accurate portrayal of the instrument panel.

Very recently they introduced a set of seatbelts and wheel masks for the P11.

Not all from the above list are available yet and the only item they are contemplating in 1/48 at the moment is an instrument panel for the Mirage PZL P.11c.

You can find out what is available and have a close up look at the items on their website:

They are available from Jadar Shop

and in the UK from Story Models.

Michal,
Thanks for the heads up. I took a look at their web site, and only 1/72 scale is currently listed.

Anthoni's statement does concern me: "The only problem with the P11 is that it is not an accurate portrayal of the instrument panel". This does concern me. What is the point if AM part(s) aren't accurate?

When I say it is not an accurate portrayal, it is the colour of the dials that I am referring to. The dials were coloured according to function. The part is very small so its up to the individual if this is an issue or not. Should look like this.

Yes, the panel of Yahu is different from the museum. It is probably closer to the truth.
