This is LTD 1/48 scale IAR 81C
Rumanian fighter. The model was lightly modified from an IAR 80A to a 81C by adding two mg 151 Mauser 20mm guns and
repositioning the 4 FN 7.92 machine guns, lightly lengthened the wings for the 81C version.
Paint was a mix of my own with Model Master paints.
The model represents an IAR 81C no 343 of the Fortelor Aeriene Regal ale Romänia (Royal Rumanian Air Force)
Escadrila 62 Grupul 6 Vanatoare flown by Lt av Tache Baciu, his personal emblem was a little Bambi painted of both side of the cowling .
