IBG 1:72 PZL.37A BIS II LOS POLISH MEDIUM BOMBER
IBG will be releasing a 1:72 scale PZL. 37A bis II Łoś –
Polish Medium Bomber, Item No. 72513
The PZL.37 Łoś was a Polish medium bomber
designed in mid -1930s in the PZL factory in Warsaw
by Jerzy Dąbrowski.
The early A version was fitted with a single vertical
stabilizer, while the later A and B version already
had improved twin tail. Only 10 (out of around 100)
planes with a single stabilizer were produced. Serial
production of the Łoś plane stated in 1938. By the time
it was built, the Łoś was one of the most advanced
bomber aircraft in the world.
The PZL.37 was used by the Polish Air Force during
September 1939 War against Germany. 26 were later
withdrawn to Romania, and after that seized and used
in the 4th Group of Romanian Airforce.
Captured planes were also tested by Germany and
Soviet Union.
