Description

This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.

From the manufacturer’s description:

The RWD-8 was a Polish plane designed and produced in the early thirties. Its main role was to be a basic trainer aircraft. It was produced by two different factories simultaneously: PWS and DWL–both versions had some minor differences. The PWS factory produced aircraft for both military and civilian use, while the DWL factory focused exclusively on civilian. In total, over 550 RWD-8 planes were produced, making it the most numerous Polish plane of its time. The RWD-8 was used for liaison and reconnaisance missions during the Defense War of September 1939. A small number of planes were sold to Palestine, Spain, Morocco and Brazil. Moreover, Estonia bought a license to produce RWD-8s. Some of the planes withdrawn from Poland after September 1939 were used by the Romanian and Hungarian air forces.
