Here's my Sova-M 1/72 U-36A Learjet, just finished in the Turning Japanese GB. Build thread is here. OOB build, SMS lacquer paints, no aftermarket used (not that there's much available). As with most recent Amodel kits the larger parts are quite nice, with some nice surface details, but the detail parts aren't great. If I did this again I'd probably 3D-print better parts for the undercarriage and the RM-30 target towing pod. Decals worked quite nicely, but with one obvious issue - the orange cheat line is higher on the fuselage behind the engines than in front, and the decals don't cater for the transition between the two - this was easy to deal with though as there was enough spare decal (the sheet includes spares for most of the main decals) to adapt and address it. thanks for looking Julian

Kit : Learjet 35 Brand : Stransky Scale : 1/144 Decals : Kit Decals I picked this little kit up in Telford 2018. The minute I saw it I just know I had to get it and build it in the Finnish Air Force colours. The kit is not bad for the scale and size. I just found some of the landing gear and gear doors a little thick, but it’s down to the limits of injection molding. I could have used the parts to scratch build my own parts, but I didn’t. I did change and correct some parts of the kit. The first thing I done was to drill out the cabin windows. That was simple because they were molded into the inside. Then I filled some of the panel lines as they are filled on the real aircraft. The tail cone had to be changed, because the Finnish aircraft have a different tail cone, again this was simple. Just remove some plastic from the tail area and replace it with a bit of sprue. The real aircraft has a lot of reinforcing and extra aerials. I added these with some plastic card. I mix some Tamiya paints to get the two greens as I could not find the correct colours, the grey is Tamiya XF-80. To see the build, click on the link. Link to Build I would like to thank Antti for his help. If I was to build this kit again, I would open the cabin door. Thank you for looking Ken
