Finally this is off the shelf of doom. This was a nightmare kit - I really love the AZ Model 109s and I really enjoyed the G2 (can be seen alongside in the photos) I made previously but this G-6AS kit has serious fit issues. They can be semi-resolved by following this thread: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235010494-az-model-109-g-6as-fit-problems/ The fit issues had knock on effects joining the fuselage and wings together. Then the canopy wouldn't fit without some surgery and a lot of putty. Then I lost the cowling machine guns as they are tiny so had to buy metal replacements Painting was laborious due to me choosing the complex box art scheme My mistake - the red stripe is too dark due to not using white as a primer which makes the "2" seem a bit bright now. So close to ditching this one! But at least its done and I didn't hurl it in the bin....so this an aircraft flown by Friedrich-Karl Muller August 1944 of 1./NJGr.10 according to the box:

This is the Eduard 1/72 L39 Albatros from the 'around the world' two-kit boxing. Instead of kit decals, I have used a set by Kopro to make this specially marked Hungarian Air Force example from 2008 called 'Capeti II'. The decals are very thin and rather difficult to manage, and the kit - though it looks great in the box - is surprisingly poor in terms of fit. In the end though, it looks like an L39; so anyway here it is. -
For anyone planning to make this model in the American embassy markings supplied in the first issue of this kit. www.svsm.org/gallery/uc43 has a 4 page walkaround with 28 pictures per page. They cover just about everything except a full cockpit shot. There are 4 pictures spread over pages 3-4 that do show enough of the cockpit so that it is relatively clear what is needed though. There are some great pictures of the wheel wells too. The plane is in the embassy markings as well. Carl T
