Well it's been a terrible year for my group builds. I must have built 10 last year and so far zero completed this year. But having just cleared out my model cabinets having sold most of my builds, and having a break between courses I thought I'd start on this. Some nice looking plastic. And of course the Profipack PE and masks. And the suitably deserty scheme. I actually just sold most of my collection to a Pakistani man so it's kind of fitting too!

Good morning! I am pleasd to show you my recently finished model. This is a K-8P in the markings of Pakistan. The K-8P is a modification of the Chnisee trainer JL-8. Before I stared I thought that the building willbe a walk in a park but during I had to realise I need more time and patience. Long stroy short: Trumpeter gives us some kind of prototype's model, so many of the panellines were incorrect, and also I realised that I am using such fillers that shrinks for a while so. Especially srink after I put on the primer or something. The used Paint areall Gunze, sprayed on a white primer. The blue is a mixture of Mr Hobby H25 and Mr Color 5. The leveling thiner mix them without any problems. The kit itself is a littlebit basic so I added a lot of gadgets to the cockpit and some other things on the outside, like new landing lights etc. If someone would like to so the buliding in detail, here is the thread: So lets see what have I done: I hope you like it and maybe I can inspire someone for an other JL-8/K-8 because its a nice but realy underrepresented plane. Comments as always are welcome.

The Pakistan Air Force's No.1 Fighter Conversion Unit operated FT-5 trainers (export version of the JJ-5) 1975-2012. The kit is very basic having no cockpit and a solid wings with no tabs. With the parts off the sprue you could easily believe this was resin rather than an injection kit.
