PZL.23 Karaś Ideas and Inspiration
« on: April 01, 2012, 06:26:24 AM »
Hi folks,

Triggered by a comment by Paul Wagner in his Polish Air Force c.1939 thread, here is a thread dedicated to your PZL.23 Karaś Ideas and Inspiration.




I wonder, maybe RAF Army Cooperation aircraft?  Carrier based perhaps?

Regards,

Greg

Certainly has stylish spats.
Install bigger engine and make into a kind of fixed gear pre-Skyraider.

The Karaś big brother the PZL P.46 Sum has always made me think of a fixed gear Grumman Avenger.


As to re-engining the P.23/P.43, for a number of reasons the most likely (in RW terms) European liquid-cooled
inline engine would be a Hispano 12Y.

BTW the export model P.43 was a P.23 with a Gnome-Rhone 14K radial.

 Lacking the graphic skill, let me just suggest a slightly deeper gondola mounting a forward firing 20mm cannon.
