Lovely clean build of this pretty little trainer. Those bulgarian markings look so good on it.. Ive got one in 1/72 to do but just cant make up my mind which scheme to do it in, there are so many available, My head hurts from trying to choose🤔.

Thank you, yes so many schemes to choose from 🤔👍

Hi all 

Here is my 1:48 L-39ZA by Trumpeter (05805) l started this back in September 2023 and finished it on New Year’s Day!

I should of had it finished back in November 23 but had an disaster with the canopies which resulted in me having to order replacements.

Anyway as with all my builds of 2023 this was another kit that was picked out of the stash by my wife for me to build.

I brought a few aftermarket items for this build,

Eduard cockpit photo etch set (FE920) Eduard seatbelts (FE921) Eduard TFace canopy masks (EX612) Quickboost L-39ZA Gun Pod (QB48 858) Quickboost L-39ZA Pylons (QB48 855) Reskit L-39 Wheel set (RS48-0210) Master pitot tubes (AM-48-106).

I decided on aftermarket decals from Model Maker Decals (L-39ZA 30 Years in Bulgarian Service (MMD-D48109)

I used Life colour paints for the first time on this build and can’t say I was overly impressed with them.

Tamiya paints also used 

Thanks for looking and Happy Modelling

Fantastic build 👍 

[Airfix Buccaneer S.2C]

Hi all

Here is the excellent Airfix BLACKBURN BUCCANEER S.2C in 1:72 scale 

this kit has been sat on my shelf of doom part built for at least 2 years having lost my mojo at the time!

anyway the project I’m on at the moment (Trumpter 1:48 L-39) stalled due waiting for the correct paints to arrive so I decided to get the Buccaneer off the shelf and get it finished 👍 

the only extras i added to the kit was a Eduard cockpit Photo Etch set!

I chose to do one from the kit markings options XV154 of no.809 NAS HMS Ark Royal in 1972 

Tamiya paints used throughout 

The extra dark sea grey I used Tamiya  XF-54 Dark Sea Grey mixed with XF-18 Medium Blue 

a quite enjoyable build thanks for looking and happy modelling

That's a lovely build, for some reason, I prefer the two seater and it's great to see different markings.

Very nice, even better if…

1. Fitted with 100-gal combat tanks, the larger 190s were not an Indian Navy fit. An easy fix.

2. It had EDSG intakes all the way back to the compressor blades. Another easy fix.

3. It had the extended twin-stick 1st gen Harriers’ AAR probe, which They stopped the pilot getting neck-lock to the left when prodding 😂
I believe these will be available soon from Black Dog.

Otherwise nicely done.

Hi all 

I present my latest build Kinetic’s 1:48 T-Harrier (K48040)

as with a lot of my models I wanted to do the kit in something other than the kit supplied markings so chose to do a Indian Navy Harrier.

Well this has been a build of ups and downs a certainly nearly beaten me on more than one occasion but I was determined to get if done (well almost) I may revisit it at some point to finish some minor details but for now I’m done with it.

anyway this was another kit picked out of the stash by my wife as this has been the theme this year.

I purchased some aftermarket bits for it.

Eduard Big ED set containing sets (48945)(49882)(EX576)&(FE883)

Master brass pitot (AM-48-069)

Model Alliance Decals BAe Sea Harrier pt.1 (MA-48153)

Tmayia paints used throughout 

windsor and newton gloss and satin varnishes 

flory dark dirt wash and Abteilung Starship filth oil paint

thanks for looking and happy modelling
