Mick Drover Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) Hi all. This is the 3rd completed one for the year. It's the Weekend edition of the Eduard 1/48 L-29 Delfin which is the AMK kit in disguise. The markings are one of the options in the box and I can assure that all 184 decals that make up the tiger stripes are present, count 'em! It was bare plastic a week and a half ago so approximately 10 days to complete it. Four of those were dedicated to decaling. The paint is Mr Color #4 yellow. The changes I made are the Master pitot probes and the Quickboost seats. I also replaced the braces behind the front seat with wire. I kept the canopy closed as the open canopy would ruin the simple lines of the airframe. So, interesting airframe...no. Interesting decals scheme...yes. Would I recommend the kit...yes, but a different scheme. Hope you like it. Mick Edited May 1, 2020 by Mick Drover 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it is a simple airframe shape, the tiger stripes work well with it. Cheers Mick 15 hours ago, glyn said: Nice model.
