IBG 72501 RWD-8 PWS 1/72 Plastic Model

The IBG 72501 RWD-8 PWS 1/72 scale plastic model kit is an excellent choice for aviation and historical modeling enthusiasts. The model represents the Polish RWD-8 training aircraft in the licensed PWS production version, which was one of the most important aircraft of its class in the Polish Air Force during the interwar period and the September Campaign of 1939.

The RWD-8 is a two-seater, lightweight training aircraft designed by the RWD engineering team (Rogalski, Wigura, Drzewiecki) and mass-produced in Poland between 1934–1939. It was widely used by the Polish military as well as numerous civil aeroclubs—the aircraft trained thousands of Polish pilots before the outbreak of World War II. The RWD-8 manufactured by PWS differed slightly from the version produced by RWD, mainly in construction details and finish.

The IBG 72501 kit is made of high-quality plastic, faithfully reproducing the original silhouette and construction details of the aircraft—cockpit, undercarriage, stabilizers, and the wing profiles characteristic of the RWD-8. The set includes decals to replicate the original historical markings, enhancing the realism of the finished model. Glue and paints are not included and must be purchased separately, allowing modelers full customization of the finish.
