Sometimes there is a model that will stick in your memory and will forever be something that you reflect on throughout your modelling journey. Not because it was necessarily your first kit, or one where you achieved good results using a new technique, but simply because it just caused you so much hassle that it haunts your nightmares.
This kit is one of those.
Join me in this video as I build & review the Mistercraft PZL-37B 'Łoś FARR & VVS' in 1/72 scale. A plastic model kit of an early World War 2 light bomber aircraft from Poland.

This brings back memories of nearly all kits when I was a kid. They were terrible compared to today's nearly snap together kits. That's where I learned my modelling skills. I you've never had a kit with enough flash to make another model, you haven't lived, lol. As bad as this sounds, I think I'd give it shot.

Now we have much better kit from IBG Models (one of the best kit in 1/72 scale I've ever made - highly recommended!) but that legendary "Łoś" from ZTS Plastyk/Mistercraft and also some others brand is still thriiling to me!

I would recommend Mistercraft kits for kids as they are so cheap and great for Saturday builds -Sunday blow-ups. For the rest of us I find using Scalemates database prior to purchase allows one to pick up the gems while avoiding the duds. Cutting your teeth on lousy kits is good training but there is always the trade-off between effort and result, sows ears have a tendency not to want to become silk purses.

Nothing shall ever compare with the 2 month nightmare I spent on a pretty ordinary 1/72 Sukhoi-9 model from some obscure east european manufacturer. Picked it up for next to nothing. I hated every minute of that frustrating build I dont know why I continued with it I tried to correct it and enhance it along the way with scratchbuilt bits, extra polishing, dremelling and randomly jigging some wires in various places just for looks ... but the flaws in the model are so obvious whenever I look closely at it. Its my favorite model :) I love it and its shiny bare metal and grease stained finish. Its awesome.

I appreciate that you have made a real effort and produced at least something from this effort. I understand the frustration, we have all been there. Myself, I appreciate the challenge of trying to make something presentable from older models, especially as the subjects can be so much more diverse than currently available, ie endless spitfires...... I recently completed a build of the re-released Airfix Hawker Demon, a very old kit, but satisfying to complete with modernish decal quality and an unusual subject, even though aligning the overly thick wing struts was so frustrating, I eventually gave up and simply glued them in place where they were, filling and sanding the original fixing holes as no way were they going in there! Keep up the good work, and never get disheartened. Since the 15 years plus I have rediscovered modeling, I have made similar mistakes to your use of the spray varnish, just learn and move on to the next build. Reassuringly therapeutic in these difficult times.

This is model I build more than 3 times. I buy few from ZTS Plastyk and few from MisterCraft, they are exactly the same but ZTS is cheaper. It is great because there is a lot of modeling work to do with it. Sanding, cutting and scribing :D You need to think twice befire you glue something because no parts fit together as intended. But because there is only few parts make its rather quick to build. Painting schema is also easy (best colours for it are from Hataka - Dark Polish Khaki is the proper one). Glad you didn't try the A version as the single tale is even harder to do and require lot of plastic to be cut from the tail. Great video! I enjoy your fight with this model! :)

However one of my friends on the forum actually suggested this one, fortunately after having the suggestion I went to look for a Mistercraft review and your video was the ticket to me saying a big NO to making it as well as buying it.

Not so bad build of a very crude kit. The only good thing about Mistercraft is that they have rarer Planes. Beside the a bit crude paintjob and some gaps a good job of a pretty bad kit. A word to cheap Spray cans i think it is better to spend a bit more for better quality. If you fill the gaps next time this Mistercrft will be really better. In my mind Mistercraft kits are for advanced modellers to get a better result, but frustrating for beginners.

If you spend a little more time, use putty and sanding stick, more knife, proper colours and do not finish with total disaster with varnish in spray it could be nice model. But I guess you chose to build it as is. I have few PZL-37 from early production (blue plastic, very good transparent parts) and quality is much better than after four decades of using this molding forms. It is simple but nice model. Most of Polish modellars had started their journey building only few commonly available models (PZL-37, JAK-1, IL-2m3, RWD-14, RWD-8, PZL-23, PZL P.11 and few gliders). Sometimes there were also Czechoslovakian models and Matchboxes in shops dedicated for scout boys :). By the way, your voice sounds very good. It was pleasure to hear you during all movie.

I only buy Mistercraft if I know it is a Heller rebox,because I know Heller is good. Nice work on the plane. Don't lose your will on building models,just try to avoid this kind of models. First check the model on scalemates and You will know what are you buying. I once bought from Mistercraft Caudron 714 and Aichi Type 99 Pearl Harbour,and both ended up in the trash. Not worth my energy or my time.

It seems that Łoś was an ok bomber for its time, so was pzl p-11, but there were too few of them and their time was somewhere around 1920, therefore they were a bit outclassed by things like 109s, he-111s, even hurricanes, not to mention the first spitfires and newer 109s which appeared around early 1940. After the fall of Poland, a few remaining polish aircraft was used mainly for testing and as trainers by luftwaffe or by few other airforces. Some countries did buy a few of Łoś when it came out before war, and I think it might've even inspired some early war bombers. But they were never used on any bigger scale, therefore being somewhat forgotten by history
