The first Arma Hobby model in 1/48 scale
Posted by Wojtek Bułhak

The long-awaited surprise model at the end of 2020 is the PZL P.11c in 1/48 scale. This little plane is a big step in the development of Arma Hobby. While designing it, we tried to meet the expectations that you expressed on forums, in social media and emails sent to us.

What for the first kit in 1/48 scale?
We listen carefully to the opinions of modellers, and from the many aircraft proposals that you would like to find in the Arma Hobby offer, the topic of 1/48 scale and a return to Polish topics was continually appearing. In this model, we combined as much as possible the requests of the modellers from Poland and from abroad. The first step on a large scale is a challenge. The details look different in that scale, the larger area and volume of the model requires rethinking the technical requirements and taking into account other limitations of the technology. The P.11c model was perfect for testing the new scale. It is an introduction to the Hurricane Mk IIc in 1/48, which is already in preparation in the tool shop.

We have planned the 1/48 scale P.11c model as a surprise release for October 2020. Unfortunately, the conditions in which we live now did not allow it. We focus on quality and the multiple quarantine breaks of employees in Arma Hobby and in the tool workshop delayed our plans. The model will be available for delivery in January (we still hope to make it before the end of the year) and we are accepting preorder starting today!

In pre-sale, in addition to the model, you will get a box-art print (painted by Piotr Forkasiewicz) in A4 format and a printable voucher by email, useful if you order the model as a gift. You can give it in an envelope as a Christmas present.

What will be included in the box?
One sizeable grey plastic sprue and a clear windscreen. Big size decal 18×13 cm size with four excellent colours schemes of the aeroplane. Photo-etched parts as well as the masks for the windscreen. See more details

PZL P.11c will be available to modellers soon, most probably we will start shipping next week. Today we present the contents of the model box. So let’s check what’s inside!

In-box P.11c in 1/48 scaleThe first difference that will immediately catch your eye is the box’s size, clear when compared to the packaging of the 1/72 model. The second is its sturdiness. As you asked many times, the package is robust thanks to the matching cardboard insert like a drawer. It will hide the parts of the model during assembly, and it will be convenient to store them there

In the model, we took care of the correct shape, good surface and interior detailing. Corrugated sheet and attachment stripes on the wings, latches and larger rivets were reproduced as the model’s scale allowed. The model has a very rich cockpit interior, decals, photoetched parts and pre-cut masks for the windscreen and wheels. Wheels with a slight deflection of the tire will assembly be in the right position. We left to the modellers to add wires for installation in the interior of the cabin and tension stripes for the chassis legs.
Please accept my apologies for some photos quality. It wasn’t my day when talking about making photos of kit parts.
