 ''...because polish pilot , when needed , will fly even on stable doors" - Bronislaw Komorowski (probably)

Quick, fun project :)

Doors - battens from old dish tee
Pilot - 1/48 Monogram
Seat - 1/48 Italeri
Threads - my mother's knitting stash :)
Base - Faller + part from Su-22 horizontal's pivot :)

Additionally few moments of work and voila...

Wonderful!  A great (though funny) tribute to your nation's airmen!

One thing...These words "...because polish pilot , when needed , will fly even on stable doors" are real. One of the polish politicians used them when speaking to journalist few years ago :)

Many thanks for all comments :)

The only thing it needs to really fulfill its brief is for it to have Polish AF markings hand-painted on the barn doors! ;)

Absolutely brilliant concept & realisation! ;D 8)

This could be the most delightful thing I've seen all day!

I've got to thank you for the chuckle, it was a rough one today and a laugh did me good!

Always a treat to see models with a sense of humor (and built to such an amazing, museum-quality standard)!

Major Don Kutyna flew an F-105D Thunderchief over Vietnam named "The Polish Glider".

Adios, Larry.
