Stoppel 1/72 KZ VII Laerke

[Strangeways]

I'd never even heard of this aircraft until I saw the Stoppel kit advertised, then I desperately needed one of course. It's a lovely little kit (the mouldings reminded me of recent Special Hobby kits), all I added were seat harnesses and a few tiny details like aerials and foot steps.

That's very attractive, as well as interesting. Thanks for posting.

Unbelievably cute little bird ('Laerke' means lark in Danish, unless I'm mistaken)!

 

And a perfect build – could easily pass for 1:48th.

 

Kind regards,

Very good looking build 👍 ... It reminds me of the L-5 Sentinel.

Gorgeous! I picked up one of these when I was on a business trip to Copenhagen a few years ago and I had a chance to look round a wonderful model shop about 20 minutes from the city centre. The owner was the driving for behind the creation of the kit.

That's a beautiful little model of a very attractive aeroplane.  Superb paint finish.

Another beautiful artwork. I expect you are happy with the Fluro Orange? Any comments on applying it?

Thanks Michael. Yes, the Mr Color Fluorescent Orange is my go-to paint for this colour. Sprayed in multiple thin coats over Tamiya white primer, it dries very fast and very hard. The black edges to the dayglo panels were provided on the kit decal sheet.

It's often the simplest things that are the best and this little gem ticks all the boxes - big time.

Mike, you always amaze me with impeccable clean modelling that I personally use as one of modellings highest benchmarks.

Perhaps you should write a book one of these days??

 

Cheers and thanks for the inspiration... Dave

This really is a beauty! And now I must have one

 

My grandfather had one of these (a real aircraft) when I was a kid. KZ.VIIs were/are called "Leivo" here in Finland.

 

Kind Regards,

This model is just simply gorgeous and your post will influence me into buying an example of it.

Many thanks.
