djos Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Hi to all Finally finished this one. For sure i will remember this build, fighting all the way with every detail, fitting issues, cleaning the almost every part, lot of alignment issues, ....in one word...lot of fun! At the end, i spent lot of time on masking as i did not want to make standard gray/gray scheme, i wonted something different......so...when i sow camouflaged version which honors František Peřina, Czech war hero who fought as RAF pilot in the 2nd world war flying on Spitfire Mk V....that was final. Colors HATAKA, very light weathering with artistic oils, added details in cockpit, and as i was not able to fix issues with canopy, i cut it in three parts and display opened. Also very interesting part was with decals, as i combined British and Czech ones, according to pictures. Only what was not able to finish in accurate manner is Czech serial 6066 which should be 6065. So at the end i am happy but will not repeat this adventure soon. Best regards to all....and pictures at the end, i hope you will like them 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 That's a bit sensational – an L-159 with a built-in Spitfire! Fantastic livery and a beautiful model. Your hard work and persistence 'per ardua ad astra' has really paid off. Congratulations! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
