Finally after several years waiting for it, we can add the Polish Answer Plastic Model kits brand to the our listings. The brand is already commercializing two models in 1/72 scale, available as pre-order, after years working in several 1/72 scale moulds. The brand already produces kits in other scales such 1/48. The two initial releases are for the Polish PZL W-3 Sokół helicopter, Answer – 72001 – PZL W-3A Sokół Czech Air Force and Answer – 72002 – PZL W-3A Sokół TOPR Rescue Helicopter. Both will be fully available by the end of this month, and we hope that this brand will be able to release some other of the 1/72 scale kits they have been working for long, as the beautiful CASA C295 or the PZL 104 Wilga amongst others.
