Zlin Z-142, 1/72 Hobby Boss


Recommended Posts

Hello there!

 

This is my recent project, a nice little prop.

If someone dont know it by heart, here is a hint by a fellow modeller from the Britmodeller:
 


Also, that build was seriously inspiring me, thats why I gave it to myself last year, as a birthday present. Anyway, it was discounted in a scalemodel shope in my near... :)

So, I decided to finish it for my next birthday, 14 days remaining. Whish me luck! :)

You can seen I culd not stand to build it out of the box.

There is still a planty of works in the interrior, mostly painting jobs.but I also want to add a fire extingusher, and a first aid box.

Nice! A bit unusual with a kit in clear plastic.

Thank You!

It unusual indeed. there are some speculations saying that because of moulding reasons; for better details on the surface but still no exact answer for years.

Hi!

 

However I could not finish on time, I didnt give it up.
Actually I had many away days In the last months.
I strive for my best and because of this I spent days to find correct interrior shots about 0557 axactly as I noticed earlier that some of the Z-142 CLV's had a pink stipe inside while other ones blue.

Please wellcome my progress. By the way since the photos are taken I started to make the curtains.

Also the landing lights are polished properly after. This was the starting condition.

I am glad to show you my recent progress.
The airframe is most likely ready. Just a small sanding left and also a cup of gadgets like pitot tubes, steps.

So what happend so far?

 

I made an imitation for the engine an the air inlet. Not a big deal but makes much better that emptyness.

Added as much weight as I cuold...

Previusly the landing light looked like this:

And this is now:

I think it is clear enough.

Rails for the curtain:

Ready for masking!

The next step for me will be the sanding. Luckily not so much is needed.

But I also have to paint it and this time I am a little unsure. I'll have to ad those littles as I mentioned above and I think I shuold do it before primeing. And some white aerials are still missing from the underside too. So I have a dilemma. I am afraid that if I spray the lighter light blue, I am going to demage the pitots and etc. I can spray the darker lightblue first, but I am unsure if the lighter one will cover it properly. What do You think?

Hi!

 

Almost one month passed, and I totally forgot to post here.
Well...

The nose gear was to long, and the plane hold its nose so high as it'd sitting on the tail.

See that piece that had to been removed from the middle. To keep up the structural strenght, I drilled both the remaining parts and inserted a copper wire as a tenon Of course I forgot to take a shot, 'cause i was busy with modelling.😵

 

Whats more here is the paintjob.

And furthermore this week finally I managed to finish it. I commited everything to not finish it however, but I dont speak about it...
