Eight marking variants for the PZL P.7a fighter in 1:72. Besides home machines of 1939 it also offers an aircraft taken over by the Romanian Air Force and a captured example with cross insignia.

Few interwar fighter aircraft changed so many owners in the course of two years. In September 1939 the Polish machines took off against odds; a year and a half later the same airframes stood with different insignia at airfields in Transylvania, and some of them were taken over by the victors as training and liaison aircraft. This sequence is unusually rewarding for a modeler: an identical shape can be built in the role of defender, ally and spoil of war.
Eight variants lead from combat units through training to taken-over machines. The 123rd Escadrille of the 2nd Regiment of September 1939 is represented, the 132nd Escadrille of the 3rd Regiment in a training scheme, the 141st Escadrille of the 4th Regiment, a machine of the 4th Regiment with a training finish and an aircraft from the advanced flying school at Grudziadz. The series is closed by an aircraft of the Royal Romanian Air Force from the Ghimbav airfield of 1941 and a captured example from Deblin of the same year.
If you are building two examples side by side, build them as a before-and-after pair: the September Polish machine in khaki and the same type in a later foreign finish. The difference between them is made purely by the markings and the color of the surface, so a simpler form of kit will do for the second one. Both versions will also fit on one shelf side by side.
