Today we present the first draft of a series of new figurines modeled 3D. It shows Boleslaw Orliński, the famous pilot of PZL. It will complement a series of models of aircraft PZL P.1-P.6-P.8 from Arma Hobby.

Boleslaw Orliński – remarkable pilot

Name famous in pre-war Polsce. As a beginner pilot flashed by doing 242 loops per one flight. Hero of the flight Warsaw-Tokyo-Warsaw in 1927. Flight completed successfully, despite being torn off the wing tip in his Breguet XIX A2.

Figure of Boleslaw Orliński in scale 1/48

Orliński figure will be made ​​in 1/48 scale – in addition to the model from Arma Hobby. It was Sculpted our new colleague, Grzegorz Kawecki, a professional 3D artist working for advertising industry. Figure has been modeled on the basis of the images Orliński with PZL P.6 in Cleveland and foraging PZL P.7 you can see above. The pilot wears a distinctive flight fatigue there. As shown in the pictures are two types of fatigues hardly different type, but made ​​of different materials (or simply washed out to varying degrees.)

This simple figure will be easy to paint not only for figure modelers, but also for those usually building aircraft kits . Ideal for diorama with the first PZL aircraft in 1/48 scale.
Figure design  is ready for 3D printing and will be printed at the beginning of August. For sales will come as soon as it’s ready.

Division is part of the figure, body and separate head.
