Redboost Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Hi folks, after completion of the S-199 I could not resist and built the two-seater training version of the same. The kit obviously shares the same parts except a new frame with fuselage and some smaller details. Avias were painted with mixture of lacquer varnish with aluminium pigment in it, so I followed the same approch for the kit. It was airbrushed with Gunze SM07 with about 20% of light grey. The machine belonged to a training unit located in 1952 in Slovak area of the Czechoslovakia and it is documented with this markings after a crash landing (quite usual fate of many aiframes given the rather poor handling characteristics).

Kari Lumppio Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Hi! I have built the sane in cold war era from 1/72 KP kit. Yours is much much better. Cheers, Kari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redboost Posted June 18, 2022 Author Share Posted June 18, 2022 Thanks Kari, I guess many of us built (or struggled with) the old KP kit in that times… A piece of nostalgia, but the Eduard kit is totally different level. Cheers, Libor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 That is one very nice CS-199. To achieve this level of finish in 1/72 is fantastic. Well done Libor! T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_W Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 As a two seater, it actually looks very nice, not as ungainly as other modified fighter variants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in a shed Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Outstanding, hard to believe its 1/72 scale. Superb modeling Libor. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomcat101 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Really well done. Having built a few 1/72 scale ME-109s I know how small they are. For you to get that detail is amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've told you a million times not to exagerate, but the claim "1/48th" would have easily fooled me 😁 Extremely clean build, nice canopy, convincing detail and paint job, good photography.
