PZL 23B Karaś is an aircraft that entered service with the Polish Air Force between 1936 and 1939, being a development of the earlier PZL 23A model. Equipped with the more powerful PZL Bristol “Pegaz” VIII engine rated at 710 HP, Karaś played a key role during the September Campaign of 1939, serving as the main bomber and reconnaissance aircraft. The PZL 23B Karaś became renowned for the brave actions of Polish crews who, despite lacking modern armament, bravely faced the overwhelming Luftwaffe forces.

The IBG kit is characterized by precise detailing of both the fuselage and the weaponry and crew cabin components. The model is suitable for enhancement—enthusiasts can further enrich it with resin or photo-etched parts (sold separately). A clear instruction manual guides you through the assembly process, facilitating construction for both less and more advanced modelers.
