It was an improved version of the earlier PZL.23 Karaś and featured a more powerful engine and better performance. Aircraft of this type were produced both for the Polish Army and for export to Bulgaria. After September 1939, some unfinished machines were taken over by the Germans, who used them in support roles, mainly for training and transport duties for Luftwaffe units—especially at the FWM Mielec production site, as depicted in this model kit.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe Mirage Hobby 481311 model was designed with great attention to detail, offering a detailed cockpit interior, accurately reproduced exterior surfaces, and realistic landing gear. Thanks to the included decals, you can create the original paint scheme with German markings from 1940. The kit does not include glue or paints—use of dedicated modeling products is recommended.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis product is particularly recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers, enthusiasts of Polish aviation, and World War II history. It is a unique addition to any collection of aircraft models—both for its historical and aesthetic value. It also serves as a great base for dioramas related to the acquisition of Polish equipment by the Luftwaffe.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mirage Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54719912444238,"sku":"M481311","price":36.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/5149\/0638\/files\/9368b38882e95bbb867a85612e94e39f.jpg?v=1755485522","url":"https:\/\/plastmodel.it\/en\/products\/9060-mirage-hobby-481311-pzl43a-luftwaffe-fwm-mielec-1940-version-148","provider":"Plastmodel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
