ZLIN 126 Trener

[One-Two]

Hi Guys.

 

I usually do 1/48 kits, but I received this little one as a gift from a friend and I just gave it a try with 1/72 also.

This small plane is also very dear to me, since I learned to fly on one of the descendants of the Zlin 126.

 

The kit itself is very small and cute, reasonably fit, good decals. I just added some small details and that's it.

Hope you'll like it.

 

Cheers,

Ah, that is delightful. The Trener is a great little aeroplane and this kit looks good. Unusual and in the right scale!

Echo that. Beautiful job.

A most attractive model of a very neat looking prototype (that I didn't know even existed 🤔).

 

A microscopic nit pic – the dark emphasis of every 'joint' line on the rudder/fin is a bit confusing. Does the rudder have a horn balance? Or does the fin top extend over the rudder?

 

After checking out some online photos, it seems that the rudder just has a straight hinge line from the top of the fin. The other black line would better be filled with the fuselage colour, I think.

 

Very neat modelling overall!

 

Kind regards,

Looks great, a Czech Chipmunk.

I certainly do like it.

I'm a 1/72 fan, yet I still marvel at how precisely and cleanly many builders can work.

Your "Trener" is a beautiful example.
