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

#13/2017 One of the last desperate measures of the Luftwaffe in the final stage of the war, fitting sports aircraft with Panzerfäuste. The model shows an aircraft of 3.Panzerjägerstaffel, established on March 4th 1945, first combat sortie April 19th and last one most probably on April 23rd. Pilots and aircrafts had helluva rides and many were shot down. The system hadn´t much success. Yellow 10 was "stolen" by two war-tired flight instructors, Unteroffizier Hans Ficker and Unteroffizier Werner Diermayer who fled to Switzerland where the aircraft was examined and later used in the Swiss Airforce. Stransky kit, Panzerfäuste are from the "normal" Special Hobby Bücker kit because these are molded more nicely. The kit decals are not that good, very thin, tend to wrap when pulling them off the carrier paper and when you want to bring them into the right position they act like chewing gum. In the end my dad had tu use two Balkenkreuz from the sparesbox. Bowdens on the wings with EZ Line.
