Mirage 1:48 PZL P.42

The kit proposed by Mirage Hobby company includes a plastic model kit of Polish assault aircraft in 1:48 scale.

The prototype of the PZL.42 light aircraft, built on the basis of PZL.23A Karaś, was built in 1936-1939 by the State Aviation Company in Warsaw. A team of engineers led by inz. Stanislaw Prauss was working on the improvement of the PZL.23 Karaś. In this prototype, experimentally changed the structure of the aircraft. Two vertical blades were built and the lower bombardier grenade launcher was retracted into the fuselage. This improved the direction of the rudder, especially in the dive flight, and increased the firing area for the upper rifle. Tucked into the gondola hull significantly reduced aerodynamic drag.

Plastic parts should be cut out of frames, fit together and glued according to the assembly instruction. You should paint the whole model using modeling paints according to the proposed paint scheme in the instruction. It is important to remember that some plastic parts require painting before gluing. In the end, it is needed to apply decals according to markings or graphics in instruction.

Set contains:

• The assembly instruction.
• Frames with plastic parts.
• Decals.
• Photo etched parts.
• Transparent plastic elements.

Kit does NOT contain paints and glue.

Here are the basic tools and materials you need:

• Pilers for cutting plastic parts.
• Modeling penknife.
• File or sandpaper.
• Cement for plastic models.
• Brush or airbrush.
• Modeling paints.

If you are not sure of any accessories or colors of paints you need for your model kit, please ask us, we will be glad to help you.
