In the early 1990s, there was a need to replace the SBLim-2A and PZL Lim-6 aircraft in the Polish Navy's aviation, which were the primary type of tactical reconnaissance aircraft. The TS-11 Iskra training aircraft was adapted to this purpose; the basic variant has already been successfully used in various aviation units. Between January and June 1991, A total of 15 airframes of TS-11 Iskra were received in the Siemirowice Air Base. Aircraft were derived from 17, 18, 19 and 20 production batches. They were taken from the different aviation units and incorporated into the 1 squadron. Six machines from the 19 production batch were adapted to carry out reconnaissance missions. The new version of the aircraft was designated TS-11R "Novax". Externally, it was different from the standard Iskra Bis DF with a slightly different nose section, in which the Bendix King RDS-81 weather radar and a GPS receiver were built. Initially, it was a fairly simple RS-5000 SHIPMATE receiver, which was then replaced by the GPS-150, a typical aeroplane design. TS-11 R models also had an upgraded radio. All the adaptation works were performed by PZL Mielec factory. Assembly and painting required. Tools, paints and glue are not included. Kit contains: Plastic parts. Resin Novax upgrades.
