MsModeller Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 The Breitling team always had a rather smart paint scheme in my opinion. It was also the first display team I saw using the L-39 (if memory serves right). I loved the look of the L-39. It's somehow both aggressive yet rather handsome. I bought these decals a month or so ago. As many of you know, I've lost most of my stuff so I'm starting from scratch (and given the long break, seemingly my skills too). I'm trying to avoid 'stashing' - so I sourced an L-39 which I got for £6 including postage. Little did I know how....eccentric this old kit can feel. I had some issues with the decals not fitting under the engine intake. A few little rips and tears along the way, but the important thing? I had fun. It was a quick, easy, and enjoyable model to build! I think it looks way better than my Fouga did! As usual, full review is on my site, and the video below shows full construction (but not painting...as it's just blue). 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 You're right about them being a handsome aircraft, there was one based local for several years, also blue & I loved the look of it, it always appears very urgent & business-like getting along. Your build catches the look of it nicely. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cariado Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Looks good. 👏 I managed to inspect one up close at the Czech AF Museum at Kbely outside Prague. It's a fine looking machine and one that looks 'fast' even when it's parked! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danntheman Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Nice build i did an eduard in the black and silver scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I always liked the L39 and its stable mate the L59 and it looks good in that scheme. You do seem to like your jet trainers and indeed blue colour schemes, hairwise too. Certainly a colourful theme. Excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
