Armamament variants were researched by Krzysztof Sikora in Mini Replika No. 78, pp 19-25.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Vickers armed airplanes had a small rectangular covers with vent slats on fuselage sides. Behind them were hidden gutters with MG barrels.<\/li>\n<li>FK wz.33 MGs barrels were placed in open gutters on fuselage sides.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Vickers guns jammed often. During overhaul Vickers guns were removed in favor of FK ones. Overhauled airframes were overpainted with new shades of Khaki paint. Changes of colors will be explained in one of next articles on P.7a fighter soon.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1574108 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/karabiny_00.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/karabiny_00-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/karabiny_00-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/karabiny_00-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/karabiny_00-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/karabiny_01.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/karabiny_01-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/karabiny_01-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/karabiny_01-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/karabiny_01-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/karabiny_02.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/karabiny_02-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/karabiny_02-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/karabiny_02-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/karabiny_02-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>We have decided to include both weapon variants in PZL P.7a kit.
