The real subject

The PZL.23 Karas was a Polish single-engined low-wing aircraft of mixed construction, used as a light bomber and reconnaissance machine. Characteristic was the gondola under the fuselage for the lower gunner and observer. The Karas formed the backbone of the Polish bomber force and in September 1939 it took part in the defensive fighting against the German invasion as one of the main Polish combat machines. The early version corresponds to the earlier production series.

Building and painting tips

Bond the plastic parts with thin modeling cement for plastic, filling and sanding the seams where needed. Apply a primer before painting; an airbrush will help with even coverage of the surfaces and with any camouflage. The canopy glazing is a rewarding thing to mask, and small decals should be settled on a gloss clear coat with a decal softener. Emphasize the panel lines with a fine wash.
