Title: Polikarpov Po 2 of the North Korea air force
Post by: Jicehem on April 06, 2014, 11:36:44 PM: Hello :-salut

Here is my last build, a Polikarpov Po-2 of North Korea during the Korean war. This is the KP kit. It seems that KP is now a Hungarian manufacturer (?).

Hello :-salut
I learned this fact because I ordered directly to them (In France there is no import of KP kits... :( ) and I received the parcel from Hungary.
I ordered the French (genuine) version of the Bloch MB-200. The first edition of which was the Aero version. I ordered too an Il-10 that I'm building to add it to my Korean war series.

Are there other photographs of North Korean Il-10s other than those of Nos "44" and "55" found at kimpo by American troops ?

Images I have is in attach. Please note sample machine 39, it look like it have more colors in camouflage, very close or identical to the pattern attached. I hope this help a bit.

Thank you very much. I didn't know 4th and 7th photos. 3rd photo depicts No. 55 and is on the wrong side : look at the opening glazed panel of the canopy which opens to the left side of the fuselage, and the pitot tube which must be on the starboard wing.
