WARRIOR MODELS OF POLAND


WM 48001 Breda Ba.65A80

1:48 Scale Resin Kit

What an interesting story for this aircraft! Designed for a dual role (ground attack/fighter), the Regia Aeronautica finally decided to scrap it after service in Spain. The pilots were not fully trained and couldn't get accustomed to the demands of this monoplane compared to the biplanes they flew. When the situation in North Africa rapidly deteriorated, the RA put the aircraft back into front line service where it acquitted itself well! Flown by the fighter Ace Major Adriano Visconti early in his career. This kit is hand made in Poland with resin and white metal parts with a vacuform windscreen. Both single and two seat versions included. Decals are included. Very limited production. $49.95




WM 48002 Breda Ba.88

1:48 Scale Resin Kit

Italy's Me.210! After setting some high speed records, the Ba.88 was selected for series production and 148 were built. But too late it was discovered that due to the high wing loading, poor fuselage design and poor effect of the vertical stabilizers/rudders, the aircraft had almost no ability to manoeuver. A large country like Germany or the US (B-26 Widow Maker) could absorb the loss of the use of such an aircraft and even re-design it to work, but for Italy it was a financial and operative disaster. This led directly to Italy purchasing Junkers Ju.87's for their dive bombing squadrons. Build it to remind your self of the right way to do things when you want to cut corners! Also hand made in Poland with resin and white metal parts with a vacuform windscreen. Decals are included. Very limited production. $67.55


WM 48003 PZL.P11c

1:48 Scale Resin Kit

The PZL P.11c was a modern monoplane fighter of the early 1930's designed and built in Poland. Flown for the first time in 1931 as the "a" version, progressive developments led to the "c" version flying in 1934. With a top speed of 242 mph at 18,000 feet and armed with up to four 7.7mm machine guns, the "Jedenastka" (the "Eleventh") was able to compete with the best fighters of its' day. Until the advent of fighters such as the Me.109E, Yak-1 and Mig-1, the P.11c gave Poland a fighter able to go against anything the Russians or Germans could put in the air. Due to the failure of the PZL P.50 project, the P.11c was kept in front line service past its' prime. The lasting judgement of this aircraft was made during the invasion of Poland when, of course, it could not stand up against the Me.109's, but the more realistic judgement of it should be made comparing it to its' contemporaries of the early 1930's. Hand made in Poland with white metal parts and decals. Very limited production. $49.95


WM 48004 Blackburn SKUA

1:48 Scale Resin Kit

The Skua was the first modern British monoplane fighter designed for use off aircraft carriers. Because of concerns about the ability of a single pilot to handle both flight and navigation duties over water, the Skua had a two-man crew. The navigator also had a defensive machine gun. With the weight increase due to the extra crewman and machine gun plus ammunition, the performance of the Skua suffered against German land based fighters. Never the less, the Skua was an important step in the development of successful British carrier fighters. This kit consists of 40+ resin pieces, vacuform canopy, white metal pieces and decals.

WM 35001 FIAT/SPA Autoblinda AB 43

1:35 Scale Resin kit with metal parts and decals.

The fourth and last in this series of Italian armored cars, the AB 43 was used both by the Italians and the Germans. It was used extensively by the 4th SS Division in Yugoslavia for anti-partisan duties. It was fast with a top speed of 55 mph and heavily armed with a 47mm high velocity cannon and 2 Breda 8mm machine guns. With a crew of 4, it carried the commander/main gunner, the front machine gunner/ radio operator, front driver and rear driver. It had a maximum range of 334 miles. This resin kit comes with a detailed interior and metal parts are used for the suspension. Decals are included along with various paint scheme suggestions. $69.90


WM 35002 FIAT/SPA Autoblinda AB 40 or AB 41

1:35 Scale Resin kit with metal parts and decals.

The second in this series of armored cars, the AB 40 had twin Breda 8mm machine guns in the turret and a single rear 8mm machine gun operated by the rear driver. The AB 41 replaced the turret machine guns with a Breda 20mm auto-cannon which required a new higher turret. The AB 41 was the most extensively used Italian armored car seeing service in both the Italian and German armiers. It was used by both in North Africa and Russia as well as by the Croatians and the SS. Fast and well armed, it provided good recon service to its users as well as light fire support. This kit includes the turrets and weapons for either version as well as metal suspension parts and decals. $69.90


WM 72004 Aermacchi/Embraer AMX

1:72 Scale Resin Kit.
After negotiations for a joint project with Sweden fell through, Italy looked for a new partner to build an attack aircraft to meet the new threats from the Soviets. Fortunately, Brazil had requirements for a new attack aircraft at the same time, so it was decided to proceed with a joint venture by the Aeritalia, Aermacchi and Embraer to build this aircraft for both Air Forces. Capable of carrying multiple weapons and equiped with redundant systems, the AMX provides both Air Forces with a potent weapon.

This resin kit enables the model builder to make a first class example of this aircraft. Molded in a tan color, it consists of 40+ pieces. It includes white metal pieces and decals for both the Italian and Brasilian Air Forces. There are good photos of it in "Aermacchi, from Nieuports to AMX", GAE 004 in our catalog.
