Arma Hobby has just released new boxing of the famous “P-seven” fighter. What’s new in PZL P.7a Expert Set 1939 compared to previous boxes? Let’s see content of the box! The PZL P.7a aeroplane is a special machine in the history of Polish aviation. The first serial fighter aircraft of the Polish construction, which at the time of entry into service was in the absolute forefront of the world. When the world powers used biplanes covered with canvas, the Polish Air Force had a paruduced in quantity metal monoplane with a semi-monocoque structure. Thanks to PZL P.7, a whole generation of Polish pilots have been trained and prepared for the upcoming war. Replaced in line units by P.11a / c, she was sent to training and new squadrons formed before the outbreak of the war. Although in 1939 the plane was already obsolete and worn out, it was not a simple opponent for Luftwaffe fighters thanks to the strong structure and perfectly manoeuvring and the combat qualities of pilots. Fighting on PZL P.7a, pilots of three squadrons won several air victories. The model is dedicated to them.
