An Aviation Enthusiast's Kit Collection Home How it All Began 50's & 60's 1970 up Various Topics Books Contact       My Collection Notes back to PZW  PZW - Packing Styles There are no dates found on the boxes and instruction sheets. So I cannot determine a chronological order. But at least I can derive a division in pre or post 1990 from the street name in the company address printed on the boxes. In 1990 there was a change of street name from "Krasickiego" to "10 Lutego" in Siedlce [2]. Plastic Kits Otherwise the arrangement is to my own guess. PZW Smiglowiec H-1.  (CJK collection) In fact a copy of the Airfix Westland Whirlwind S 55. As with RUCH kits a generic name, SMIGLOWIEC (helicopter) is used. T This may have been PZW's first packing style. Date of issue: Pre 1990 as street name is still Krasickiego. Boxtop: Smiglowiec H-1  [=Helicopter H-1]. The type name proper Sikorsky  S-55 is not used as with Iskra kit shown in picture 2, below.
