robvd Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) Hi all here is my second attemt . This is my HS 126 from ICM in the markings of the Latvian Air force. It was alos build in commission and with the exception of added seat belts and some instruments and decals from Techmod it was build straight from the box. The kit builds like a dream and I reayly think that this kit is onder appreciated, because the cockpit interior and the fit is just fantastic. It was painted with Gunze paint and again a light wash with Mig products. I hope you like it Rob Edited January 1, 2016 by robvd 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansReggelsen Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 What a beautiful model of a beautiful plane! You may well be right in that it is a underappreciated kit, as I haven't seen many build up! I just may have to get me a couple!

Spitfire31 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Your stuff is impressive no end! In addition to the clean build and finish, little details like the antenna isolators and – my favourite – the offset tailwheel all contribute to that hard to attain 'real' feeling. Doffing my hat, Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarichta Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Great job! Congratulations. I really like this model and it's very important to know that ICM did a good job in this mold. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HartDeco Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Hi Rob. I've had the pleasure to see this model in the flesh and must say I was really impressed with the delicate details and subtle weathering. René Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestFan Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Very nice, did you have any issues getting the wing fitted? Parasol wings look very tricky to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Beautiful model - beautiful paint scheme! I wonder if the Soviets impressed any and repainted with red stars (as they did with many of the Baltic States aircraft). Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Nice finish, I built one in the summer and found it really enjoyable. Even with some minor repairs to thin wing supports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
