--------------------

 

This LTD 1/48 scale IAR 80 A  was modified to an IAR 81 C.  The model was built mostly OOB except for PE seat belts from Lion Roar and  I slightly lengthened the wings to IAR 81 C standard.  Two 20mm Mauser MG-151 made with syringe needles were added on the wings.  

The model was painted using Humbrol oil paints.  

The model represents an IAR 81 C no343 of Escadrila 62, Grupul 6 Vânätoare of the Fortelor Aeriene Regal Ale Romania. This aircraft was flown by Lt.av Tache Baciu and carried a Bambi on both sides of the cowling as personal emblem.
