Lanmi Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Hi, if you allow, I will join with this one: It is beautiful resin model made by Lift Here Models 1/72, Yugoslav two-seater trainer SOKO 522 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/lift-here-models-lhm025-soko-522-trainer--988157 It will represent a movie star from our beloved classic movie Kelly's Heroes. https://www.impdb.org/index.php?title=Kelly's_Heroes I started a bit around the engine, so I hope I will have some progress soon.

Lanmi Posted November 29, 2019 Author Share Posted November 29, 2019 Just a small update. I started with assembling the engine and then I painted it together with the office. Fuselage is molded in one piece, so next step will be adding some weathering oils to the engine and attaching one-piece wings. Resin is of very good quality and very easy to sand. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srkirad Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Blue spinner gives a bit of life to the front area - nice touch. I also like how the drybrush emphasized cockpit walls. Good job so far, looking forward to assembling and painting steps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Definitely one to watch . Top marks to Lift Here! for including an imaginative set of decals with the kit. I can see that the SOKO 522 was a very versatile film star, even doubling as a Fw.190! Cheers Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed, most known to kids raised in Yugoslavia movie "Partizanska Eskadrila" movie. There is an anecdote of a group of several SOKO 522 flying in Nazi markings along Adriatic shore surprising foreign tourists enjoying holidays in socialist country. Unfortunately for SOKO 522, rumors say that there was steady supply of scotch during film shooting so pyrotechnic crew got carried away and destroyed a bunch of aircraft in spectacular explosions in the end of the movie. Our movie star got its wings and tail, still correcting the joint seams a bit. No major problems in construction, I had some work in the wing roots, and got two starboard horizontal stabilizers which I managed to alter. Still have some sanding to do and I will give it a shot of gray surfacer to check all the seams once again. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanmi Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Just a few progress pictures. I primed with Mr.Surfacer followed with Alclad aluminium. Even done the decaling. Unfortunately while gluing seats and instrument panel I managed to sink starboard wingtip into CA gel, so now I have to sand and paint again.
