Redboost Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hi fellow modellers, this my another COVID build finished in a week or so. The AMK kit is pretty nice just out of the box, but I added Eduard etched in the cockpit, Master brass Pitots and Res-Im wheels. The towing bar was scratch built from brass tubes and plastic scraps. Painted with Gunze SM and Mr.Colors. I also slightly shortened the main landing gear legs to get the proper sit of the model, and modeled the kit with extended elevator, as can be seen on a parked machines. The kit is finished in Czechoslovak Air Force markings from early 1970's. Cheers Libor 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_alfisti_ Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 You did a stunning Delfin, it just looks great. The presentation on this small basis makes it even more realistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobo Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Another beauty Libor. The tow bar turned out very nice. Looks like the Gunze Super Metallics produce a very good finish. Did you buff the metal? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redboost Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Buffing or polishing is possible to some extent, but these colors do not need that. In this particular case the surface was over sprayed with a semi-gloss varnish, as the actual planes were sprayed with a protective varnish too, i.e. these were not left in NMF. Btw, quite common practice on Soviet and east-block machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Beautiful dolphin! It is a very shapely aeroplane, and you have created a real 'looker'. In fact, I hade to double check twice that your model is really 1/72nd and not a bigger scale. Impressive work! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightningboy2000 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Very nicely moulded kit & very well presented, superb job! Thanks for the reminder about adjusting the main undercarriage as I plan to build this as well! Would be nice to see some other jets tackled in 1/72 by AMK as they are lovely kits!
