Savenosouls Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Go Easy - Just do it for fun - The kit was a present all the way from Poland I understand an Avia B-534 - Bulgarian Livery Hand painted (been on the back burner for about 12 months due to work commitments - Scotland's train tracks & junctions take precedence Im afraid!!!!) If anyone is interested - Hand painted, various humbrol enamels - quick shine (klear substitute) & matt coat - and stretched runner for the rigging, which I have no idea if accurate or not (couldn't really find that much on it other than a photo of one in a museum somewhere) I only do this for fun - I tip my hat to the masterpieces on here - this is not really worthy - but someone might be interested. I have been trying to build something other than the ordinary - although I think that I am beginning to find that Airfix kits are about my level!!!! The kit itself is good - but trying to set the top wings is a nightmare for my basic knowledge - almost put me off modelling again (having rediscovered it) Photos not great - ipad limitations!!!! Here you go if you want to have a look Thanks for looking 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Pete - Thanks for the encouragement - already started another Polish Gift - A PZL 7 (already done a PZL11) - I'd like to think it'll be done in 2 weeks. FlopyM - I am quite proud of it - I don't have the patience or artistic skill of the masters on here - but I have taught myself the stretched runner nonsense - I think it makes a big difference to the final look.

JOCKNEY Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Lovely jubbly old mate, that's a great job on an aircraft I haven't seen before, so what's not to like ? You have done the most difficult bit and posted the finished item, something I am yet to do I'm afraid. Look forward to seeing your next one.
