We have found few more interesting information about forthcoming 1:72 scale PZL P.11's from AZUR.
Company has published few 3D drawings of two engines, which were different for P.11c (Mercury VS2 or VIS2) and P.11f (Gnome-Rhone 9Krse).

First boxing which will be available for sale are:
  • PZL P.11c "First Shot", catalogue number: A112
  • PZL P.11c "Foreign Service", catalogue number: A115
Attached pictures presents boxarts for these two boxings. P.11f will be presented in later time.

AZUR is trying to prepare first two sets for E-day – Czech International Scale Model Exhibition which takes place in Prague on 28-29th September.

I have updated this report with the list of painting options for PZL P.11f.
AUG 24, 2013 - 07:08 AM
All the options are taken from Romanian Fighter Colours 1941 - 1945. Prior to the invasion of the Soviet Union all P.11s were overhauled and repainted withy a olive green colour similar to RLM 64 on the upper surfaces and a light blue on the under surfaces similar to RLM 65 or 76. RLM 64 is almost a match for RAF Dark Green so you can use that if you want to. Red band are prewar squadron markings, blue, red or yellow bands. 122 was fitted with skis so there will be skis in the kit?

Good to see you Antoni in this thread, I was starting to worry that I'm the only man in the room who's interested in these kits. I suppose it will have skis. P.11f will be released as FRROM. Their previous P.24 "Over Danube" had some resin add-on features typical for Romanian planes. If I had to bet I would say it will have skis, however I have not found any confirmation from the producer side yet. Azur is dosing new details and pictures about their releases so there will be more updates on this topic before the kit will land on the shop shelves.

I have a stash of P24s, Romanian, Bulgarian, Turkish, Greek, the lot. Molding is well up to the mainstream manufactures. I started one but keep getting diverted by other projects. The cockpit took a long time, lots of fiddley PE. On Tuesday I ordered the new Toro 1/48 PZL P.11b. It arrived on Thursday! That's a record from Poland. Good job I ordered it because when it is finished I want another one but already it is listed as 'special order'. This one will keep me busy for at least six weeks. The decal sheet says it is for the P.11b and P.11f so it looks like they have a P.11f in mind. I hope a P.11a will appear as well.
