IBG 72502 RWD-8 DWL (1/72)

IBG 72502 RWD-8 DWL (1/72) is a high-quality plastic model kit from the renowned manufacturer IBG, designed for aviation enthusiasts and model collectors in 1:72 scale. The model faithfully replicates the legendary Polish training aircraft RWD-8, a symbol of Polish aviation engineering from the 1930s. The product is made of durable and easy-to-work-with plastic, which facilitates processing and painting.

RWD-8 was used by the Polish Air Force during the interwar period and also during the September Campaign of 1939, just before the outbreak of World War II. Produced by DWL (Doświadczalne Warsztaty Lotnicze – Experimental Aviation Workshops), this aircraft played a key role as the primary training machine in many Polish aviation centers. Its design, developed by the famous RWD team (Rogalski, Wigura, Drzewiecki), was valued for its reliability, simplicity of operation, and excellent flight characteristics, which allowed for the rapid training of a large number of pilots.

The IBG 72502 1:72 scale model is an excellent replica of this historic aircraft. The sprue elements are precisely made, richly detailing the landing gear, cockpit, and characteristic construction features of the RWD-8. The kit does not include glue or paints, allowing for personalized finishing according to your own preferences. The included pictorial instructions guide you step by step through the assembly process.
