Introducing the IBG model kit set, allowing you to build an accurate plastic model of the PZL P.24B fighter aircraft in 1/72 scale. This detailed model faithfully reproduces a Polish aviation design that played a significant role in aviation history, including service with the Bulgarian air force.
PZL P.24B – An Icon of Polish Aviation
The PZL P.24B was a Polish interwar fighter aircraft, designed by engineer Zygmunt Puławski. It was a development of the innovative P.11 model, which at the time of its debut was one of the most modern fighters in the world. Introduced into service in the 1930s, the P.24B featured an innovative high-wing design, known as the "Puławski wing," good maneuverability, and effective armament in the form of four machine guns. Although this aircraft began to be outclassed by more modern designs during World War II, it played a crucial role in the history of Polish aviation, especially during the September Campaign in 1939. Significantly, the PZL P.24 was an export aircraft, successfully used by the air forces of several countries, including Bulgaria, which makes this model a unique reflection of aviation history.
