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.
