This is Ray Otton's updated model of the Romanian IAR 79:
This was the Romanian built version of the Italian SM79B.
The model is for the 1941-Barbarossa-Moldova scenario in the fothcoming 160 Italy-Balkans-Ukraine addon.

PZL P24E built by IAR in Romania .

As with most of my models this was an upgrade to the original lo-res one with rounder wheels, engine nacels, wing tips and rudder. Also fixed a bunch of mapping errors, added waist guns and radio antenna.
The little touches like this really make a difference.
FWIW, I was a little dubious about the camo paint job but it looks pretty good with that terrain set.
There's another twin engine conversion of the tri-motor SM79 with the designation SM79-JR with inline Jumo engines in place of the radials. It will also be available in the next aircraft upgrade package.

Looks very good to me. And just the type I also need in Iraqi camo for the 1941 Iraq campaign. That actually does complete the plane set for that scenario.
Many thanks Ray
