IBG 1:72 PZL.37B I Los POLISH MEDIUM BOMBER

The kit proposed by IBG company includes a plastic model kit of Polish bomber in 1:72 scale.

PZL.37 Los is a Polish bomber produced in 1936-1939 by PZL-WP No. 1 at the Okecie airport in Warsaw, considered as one of the best bombers of that period. The crew of the plane was four soldiers. The first prototype was made in 1935 and the first copies went to the divisions in 1938. Los was modern, completely metal and equipped with a retractable landing gear plane. It was produced in versions PZL.37A, PZL.37B (new engines and minor construction changes in comparison to version A), PZL.37C and PZL.37D (versions C and D were export versions intended for foreign markets). At the outbreak of the war, 70 bombers were in units. The first documented bombing took place on September 2, 1939. During the September campaign, Los performed 125 combat tasks, dropping 119 tons of bombs and performing many reconnaissance missions.

After the outbreak of the war, many Los machines fell into the hands of the enemy. The Germans gained many aircraft at Okecie airport, including one Los, which was transferred to the Luftwaffe research center. The Russians did the same with the captured bombers. In addition, many machines were handed over to Romanian AF after the planes landed in that country, where they served until 1944.
