The PZL 23A Karaś was a Polish light bomber and reconnaissance aircraft developed at PZL in Warsaw in the late 1920s. This aircraft was the main line bomber of the Polish Air Force during the interwar period, as well as at the outbreak of World War II. Its first version – the PZL 23A – was equipped with a Bristol Pegasus IIM2 engine. It primarily served in the Polish armed forces and was mainly used for ground attack, reconnaissance, and close air support missions.

The PZL 23A Karaś entered service in the mid-1930s, reaching its peak of operational use during the September Campaign of 1939. Despite its outdated design, these aircraft played a significant role in the defense of Poland, performing numerous combat sorties – both by day and by night – against German forces. The model faithfully recreates the aircraft's distinctive appearance: the low-wing design with an open gunner's position and details typical for this type of machine.
