About product

RWD-5 / RWD-5 bis 1:72 (Plastyk)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Polish RWD-5 sporting and touring aircraft and of its RWD-5 bis version in 1:72 scale from the Polish manufacturer Plastyk. It is a classic older tool of simpler execution; the package contains plastic sprues and a decal sheet. The exact contents differ between boxings.

The real subject

The RWD-5 was a small Polish low-wing monoplane of mixed construction from the first half of the 1930s, used for sporting and touring flying. The special RWD-5 bis version wrote itself into the history of long-distance flight: in May 1933 the pilot Stanislaw Skarzynski became the first to cross the South Atlantic in an aircraft of this weight class. The aircraft was powered by an inline or a radial engine, depending on the particular version.

Building and painting tips

With an older, simpler tool, expect to clean the parts up more carefully and to fill and sand the joints. Glue with a thin plastic cement and fix the small parts with super glue. Apply a primer before painting, lay the shades down with an airbrush or a brush, and finish and mask the glazing before the final color.

  • Anyone interested in historic long-distance and record flights
