Gluing model faithfully reproducing PZL.37 B / II ŁOŚ Bomber Aircraft.
PZL-37A / B Łoś is a Polish, twin-engine bomber built in a low-wing system with an all-metal structure, with a retractable landing gear. The prototype first flight took place in December 1936, and serial production lasted in the years 1937-1939. PZL-37 was the most modern Polish military aircraft built before World War II and the world's first serial aircraft with a laminar wing profile. Thanks to this, it developed a speed exceeding 400 km / h. The aircraft was among the world's leading bombers in the late thirties.
By September 1939, 96 Elks had been built, of which 9 were broken up. 40 fought in the Bomber Brigade, while 37 were in the school squadron and in the Aviation Cadet School, and 5 in trials and 5 in repairs. The elks of the Bomber Brigade fought German armored units at Radom, Pułtusk and Różan. 23 Elks were evacuated to Romania, 2 landed in the USSR, and 2 were captured by the Germans, and 60 were destroyed. The Romanian air force requisitioned the Elks. Romanian characters and numbers from 201 to 220 were painted on them. They were used by Romania, which fought on the side of Germany against the Soviet Union, among other things, to bomb Odessa.
