- Building the 1/48 scale PZL P11c kit from Mirage Hobby. The P11c was the Polish Airforce's main fighter plane at the outbreak of the Second World War with the invasion of Poland. It was briefly the most advanced aircraft of its kind when it was designed in the early 1930s.
I'd only recommend this kit to advanced modellers.

Yes P11c Polish fighter plane I'm glad that you built this plane I hope you will get in the future also for model PZL.23 Karaś and Pzl.37 Łoś
Greetings from Poland ;D
Kuba Adamczyk ja jestem z Polski
@Horus Lupercal You really don't have a basic grasp on WW I, interbellum and early WW II warplanes, do you?
@@wiktorkoszacki9481 ja też
Palsakaaaaa
Me too from Poland 😋
I have always loved these distinctive aircraft, I dont make kits anymore as I cannot do them but like watching them being built on here, I love your honesty with any mistakes you made and how you overcame them, I dont think I could of been forthcoming, especially with the superb end result, well done you have made a very hard to make model kit look excellent.
Thank you very much Dave, I really appreciate that :)
Wonderful job! Greetings from Poland! :-)
Are you from Poland? Me too😃
Great video! I AM from Poland and i love PZL p11
Tamiya thin glue is brilliant. it welds the parts together with no mess. Love the vid.
WW2 was declared 78 years ago. How fitting a date for this video!
Just got my first two airfix kits, the Hawker Tythoon 1B, and Supermarine spitfire PR.XIX. I have only been watching for a few weeks, but love your channel.
Matt Dyer good luck building them!
jamie craftercrafter Your comment sent a notification to my phone, which was for some reason on full volume, and I nearly dropped my paint in surprise, lol.
Matt Dyer lol good luck with your painting
Matt Dyer oh boy I just completed my typhoon starter kit, it is my second (may or may not already have said that) xDdd
Airfix Hawker Typhoon is one of my favourite kits, I hope it's going well! I'm pleased that you like the channel :)
There's just one thing I need to know
HOW DOES IT LOOK SO PERFECT!!?😱
hazardtrooper ! Practice
The best result I've seen with such a difficult build of the p11c.
Nice to see you tackling a more advanced model. Definitely your best build yet.
P.E. makes me tear my hair out! Sticks to everything except the bloody model!
Very true what you say about PE :') Glad you like the build
Finally someone made my favorite plane ,awesome job brother
Are you from Poland?
You are getting better with each kit you build Owen.
After your vist to Telford you will realise that to get to a certain level of modelling you will need to invest a lot of time in a project.
Time to change the name of the vlog to "NOT SO QUICK KITS, BUT THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE A MODEL A PERFECT REPLICA AND NOT LOOKING LIKE A CRAPPY TOY"? LOL
Keep the good work divulging this wonderful hobby of ours.
I like the name suggestions, pretty catchy ;) I'm pleased that you've noticed my improvements
I bullt this same model years ago. Your detail is superb.
love your work Owen, keep it up 👌
Thank you!
This model kit looks TOUGH!
No wonder it took so long for this video.
Awesome work man!
Thanks!! It was quite difficult haha!
Arvidus a longer video as well
Thank you for your vids and also for the interest you put in correctly pronouncing the Spanish "j" sound in _Vallejo._ You get a good result. (if a bit exaggerated.) Most probably your English speaking audience will not like it too much, but the Spanish speaking section really appreciates it :) NOTE: The meaning of _vallejo_ is "small valley" (with a somehow pejorative nuance). It is also a Spanish surname and a city in Solano County, California, shoring San Pablo bay.
That's a really nice model there Owen. I have been using Vallejo paints for years now, they are excellent as I think you have discovered. It's really good to see you trying new things, and getting good results from them, I think that a constant attitude of self-improvement is a big part of this hobby, and I personally get great satisfaction when I look back over previous models and see where I have improved.
I agree with you on that. Thank you!
Świetna robota, na dodatek perfekcyjny komentarz, profesjonalizm !
In english great job on top of that, a perfect commentary on professionalism😁
I built this model.I am only a beginner really, but I did it. I had the same problems as you. Some of the the parts did not fit. It was so fiddly. But you have done a much better job than me. For sure it was the hardest model I have ever made. Well done to the Polish manufacturer for the detail but as I said it was an absolute pig to put together.
Amazing. I was hooked from the beginning!
Another great build and some neat tips as well. I like Vallejo paints too as they are easy to brush on and properly thinned they leave no brush marks. I have the Perfect Plastic Putty also and it does a good job of filling gaps and quite easy to clean off with just water. Thanks for posting this tutorial.
Thx for another polish model. Very good job. Cheers Owen!
You're very welcome Mathew
Great work as always mate! Very well done in a simple artistic way
Your color on the exhaust collector ring is okay. It's made out of stainless steel so almost any shade from bright steel when new to a dull brown is okay depending on how much hot exhaust ran through it.
Great effort, honest approach to kit kept the interest up. Paul Budzik advice to others, nice touch.
hello very nice channel and it is great to watch how the foreign channel shows the Polish plastic model
Every time you say Vallejo - Bless you .
GREAT build of this unusual airplane. All in all the kit isn't that bad. We have gotten used to perfect fitting kits
Very nice build. The paint finish looks like if you used an airbrush. That proves that With very good acrylics and good quality paint brushes you can have a nice paint finish. I like Paul Budzics videos, He is a supermaster modeler.
I would like to see you building a model car. It could be a British car like the Mini Coopa (in british English) 🙂
Thanks for the tip on using glue gun wires for rigging, first time i heared about that.
The model came out looking superb!
Thank you Jan!
Excellent work again Owen, and a lovely video. Regarding the MattCote and enamel thinner; the Mattcote contains thinner anyway, so thinning it won't affect your decals.
very nicely made model of the Polish fighter PZL P11 c, well done, stay healthy !
Great project! Your skills are vastly improving with each project. Micro Set works good for the initial decaling, it improves decal adhesion, but you should also get Micro Sol. Micro Sol will soften the decals to the point is will conform to any surface textures. I'm curious though, you paint individual parts while still on the tree, but others you paint after construction, such as the wheels and various cockpit parts. I seen many others do this as well, and to me it is much easier to paint before construction. Anyways, super looking model.
This is probably your best kit so far, great job owen!
I was hyped for this and you didn't disappoint, Owen! Your first attempt with photo etch may have been difficult, but it will only become easier in the future.
Btw Vallejo is pronounced vall-ay-ho I think
Enjoyed your video and great to see you are brave enough to include your mistakes. Every kit i build has some form of disaster and i am continually learning (born again modeller). Interesting to see the glue stick aerial wires and that you brush painted it, which was standard when i was a lad in the 70's. I remember seeing a model of this aircraft when i was around 10 years old in the National Museum in Edinburgh. I remember it looked interesting with the cranked wing and i had never seen an Airfix, Revell or Frog kit of that type so thought it must have been scratch built. They had a large display of model aircraft which fascinated me as a young lad. Well done and hope you inspire more young people in these digital times,
Thank you very much Alistair, best of luck with your future builds
Beautiful done
Just awesome work ! The amount of detailed work you put in this, is incredible !
Your so good at modelling, looks great
Very Nice kit Owen!
Thank you :D
Thank you for the demo. I learnt a lot from your video.
I also just got some Vallejo model colour, they're a brush painter's dream!
POLSKAAAAAAAA BIAAAAAAAŁOOOOO CZERWOOOOOONIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!! All the best, mate!!!! Konrad - London, UK :)
Beautiful work! Your best kit yet.
Very good indeed!
Nice build. Interesting airplane. Great video.
Good work
Beautiful work mate! 👍👌👏
I never got it to fly without crashing immediately and the manufacturer isn't answering my emails.
Are you using the right glue?
TheDunkleberries no no its not the glue, you have to make sure your paint is wind resistant
Try using Tamiya Mr Lift which will add lift to any surface!
Thats a beautiful model, I hope you're proud of it
I am :) Thank you!
congratulations from an spanish owen you are pronouncing vallejo quite well
Nice build I don't build planes but I enjoy your vids, well done!
Nice job your best one yet
You may like to take a look at "micro Kristol clear" this is not only a PVA glue but dry's as the name say's clear, like glass, so is used on canopy's and instrument panels. I find this is a really good purchase, it makes my instrument panels of my models pop. Try it and see.
Amazing work!
Thank you :)
i love the longer video!
LordElysian same
Excellent job. Looks great as Mirage kits are finicky. Back to university soon?
whoa what a difficult build but the results are amazing good job owen (Y)
Thanks Karl :D
Hey really good work...Tip: dont use oil dots on aircraft...use pannel highlighting and use an oil wash....but great work +1 like and sub
Great video keep up the great work can't wait for the ship video!!!!!
This looks perfect!, Great work!
Thanks Emil!
Excellent build video. I learned a few tips along the way. Thanks a lot for making this and sharing. BTW, perhaps you could consider making a video tutorial on just rigging and installing radio wires. I'm not sure how you extracted those strings from a hot glue gun. I would love to see how you do that step. Please keep up the great work. I'm subscribing right now. Cheers!
Have you ever tried Walther's Solvaset? I don't use anything else on my decals, and I don't even polish or use varnish, and I still get great results. It really helps if you're applying the decals to surfaces with lots of raised detail.
Hi Owen, great vids, I would recommend investing in an airbrush some day :) take building up to the next level. Keep up the excellent work
Thin fishing line works better as rigging/radio lines because it would be to scale
I Bought Recently The P-7A "Transylvanian Fighter" From "Mister Craft" In 1/72 For 3,-€ And It Has Good Quality & Details For It's Size And Prize, The Decals Are The Same And Needed Work.
Very well done once again! Love it!
Thank you very much!
Really good work Owen! :)
Thank you!
Amazing job!
Hi I’m a beginner modeller and I have this half finished Lancaster and need it fixed there is no camouflage on top and the landing gear and rear turret are bad I have no landing gear or undercarriage and the rear gunner turret is out of place
Just found your channel. Great job on a difficult kit. Subbed.
Beautiful airplane 🙏😆 from Indonesia 🇮🇩
What?? From indonesia?
I’m from Indonesia 🇮🇩 I mean
I'm from Poland 🇬🇱
@@clayjohny2464 that’s not even the polish flag dumbass
Perhaps your best model till now. I like Vallejo Model Color, no brushmarks and a smooth finnish. The problem with Model Color for me are the aircraft references that dont have any FS or RLM. How did you came up with this colour for the PZL?
I just got what the instructions recommended :') I'm not too bothered about the accuracy of the colours so long as they look good
Really nice build there, have you considered making a short run kit before?
i love when he says veyaahoooooooooooooooooooo
FPV rio 😂😂
Beautiful and it's my favorite model you can't get it here in the U.S
Respect.
Its cool watching ur first vid then this one and seeing the progress u made good job
MAGNIFICENT BUILD!!!! By the way, what is the name of the Putty that you use on your kits, please?
Deluxe Materials Perfect Plastic Putty? or Blutack?
I already have some Blutack. I suppose Deluxe Materials Perfect Plastic Putty is what I'm searching for. Thank you so very much!!! :-)
Hi Owen, I saw your video's and they are very nice. Nevertheless not using the airbrush make them more interesting.
Question: Deluxe putty you using ist shrinking and can tell me more regarding the putty??
I'm glad you like my videos! The Deluxe filler doesn't shrink and its water-based which makes it easy to work with. Their video about it is pretty comprehensive: czcams.com/video/stLzShlnrEk/video.html
Fantastic video thank you! Altho I've built kits when I was younger, it's only recently that I have started to pay more attention to the detail and your videos have Been very helpful! I am wondering tho, how do you stretch a piece of sprue?
This looks great! You're getting better and better and I really appreciate the fact that you paint with brushes. This model looks already like it's been airbrushed. Good work! I have a question though. I heard you said you used 1 part water and 5 parts paint for thinning. What ratio do you recommend for thinning enamels?
That ratio is a rough guide, I don't always stick to it. Different colours may have different consistencies, I thin them until they feel right. But that ratio is a good starting point for acrylics or enamels generally
Thanks!
How did the instrument panel ended up looking like? I'm considering this kit, I would really love to build P.11c and I'm torn between 1/72 and 1/48. In 1/72 there are at least two new releases of reportedly very good quality - Arma Hobby and IBG - but for 1/48 which I'd prefer because of the relative small size of the plane, as far as I'm aware only this Mirage Hobby is available and I know it has some issues.
You should do more 1/48 scale
Like a p40 or hurricane
I'm planning on doing a 1:48 Hasegawa A6M5 Zero :)
So how does Vallejo model colour stack up to Humbrol? I used to use Humbrol Acrylics, until they started having 'grit' in the pots, and I couldn't get a smooth finish. God knows what happened there. While I usually use enamels (Humbrol, Sovereign Colourcoats and Tamiya), I have had excellent results with Revell Aqua and Model Master Acrylics.
I love the Vallejo, I'd rank it best, then Revell Aqua then Humbrol acrylic
So cool 😎loved it keep them coming dude 👍
is that really the correct way to pronounce Vallejo?! Very nice plane BTW!!
Hi Owen, thinking of making a wash, just two questions: can I use paint instead of chalk and for the washing up liquid, can "fairy" work. I'm asking because it's a green colour and I don't want a green wash.
+Gabe Varley you can't use paint with washing up liquid, you could just use paint and water/thinner but then it's difficult to clean up. I've never tried fairy, you might want to do a test on a scrap piece
If Microsl doesn't do the job, I find a little heat from a hairdryer helps stubborn decals to conform.
Great build and video all the same, you've come a long way since your original PZL :)
Is this the first 1/48 in your collection?
Haven't heard of that, I'll test it. It is the first in my 1/48 collection yeah, hopefully some more to come
Hi Owen. Quick question. You mentioned the Vallejo acrylic ratio to be approx 5 parts paint to 1 part water yet on your painting with a brush video you suggest the paint should have the same texture as milk. I've got Vallejo and I always seem to put it on too thick and getting it to milk consistency is way more than 5 parts to 1. A lot more thinner. Which should I do. 5-1 or to milk consistency please?
Try the 5:1 and see what it's like - it's only a rough guide. I think milk consistency is too runny for brush painting (but good for airbrushing)
Thank you for the response. Will do. Its the first kit I've started as an adult. So many layers of paint that it doesn't look great. All learning!
Hey Owen, when are you coming to America next?
Stookey-Scale-Modeling
I don't think so
hi! quick question. how do you store your finished models do you display them in cases? any tips about storing finished scale models :)
I wish I could display them in cases, or have a nice shelf for them. Because I move between university and home a lot, they just live in a cupboard to keep the dust off. Ideally they'd be in a glass shelf unit or in perspex cases
Great job, enjoyed watching your build, far too advanced for me though lol :-)
I would love to use varnishes, it would allow me to use weathering, making recess lines, and i would like to use acrylic paints w/primer(because enamel's and turpentine fumes ruin my painting experience) but using all those sprays require so much hassle with gasmasks etc :(
Quba Ch you can prime outside :)
Quba Ch
You can get some varnishes in pot which can be brush painted
Best way of doing large decals is to use them as stencils, find a matching colour, and then use an airbrush to spray them on
Revilomai G Owen is like the head of the " i don't need no airbrush" movement.
Revilomai G
Fuck off
Does the oil wash dissolve the acrylic paint
No, not if the paint is fully cured
For some great washes go to games workshop which is the company that make warhammer and buy one if the shades they're really good, I do airfix and warhammer and I use a mixture of humbrol and citadel paint
I like the idea not using an air spray
Is there any way I can first put emanol, let it dry and then put acrylic over it??
Yes. Allow the Enamel paint a few days to dry, and then paint your acrylic over the top. I have done it hundreds of times over many years.
If Mirage Hobby sent me this, I'd send it back...
Marian Cihoň why?
