A few things.

You can check photos in thread on Polish forum, PWM: Link

Wrong angle:

Thickness of wing is too small.

Ribs are wrong too , one is lacking on each wing, also they are in wrong positions on ailerons and on that foldable part of right wing. Also there should be no free space between foldable and wing too.

Ouch! Thanks to both of you. So, IBG messed up things a bit with their first 1/72 scale aircraft kit. This is a bit unexpected, since the type is well known in Poland (I am quoting from memory, but I think the RWD-8 was the most numerous Polish-made aircraft up to 1939) and the kit was designed by a Polish company. I read attentively the review by trl and also did my best to follow the long thread on the kit at the Polish forum. I haven't bought the kit yet, but I intended - and still intend - to do so, but given the glaring inaccuracies in the wing geometry (not to mention the grossly exagerated fabric representation on the ailerons and elsewhere), I am looking forward to see Arma Hobby's corrected wing... It has been a long time since PZW Siedlce first released their own RWD-8, somewhere in the late Eighties (I got mine thanks to a Czech penfriend, around 1990) and in a sense, I was expecting more from the new IBG kit. But since this is IBG first in their new 'Polish Wings' series, I hope they can learn from their mistakes and produce more accurate kits in the near future.
