L-60 Brigadyr - air ambulance version ; AZ model ; 1/72

[Konrad]

About the aircraft:
One of three L-60 Brigadiers flying in Poland in an air ambulance version. Painting based on conjecture - sister planes SP-FXA and SP-FXB most likely had all surfaces cream and dark blue. Here I decided on the red elements "above the cabin" based on analysis of black and white photos and a suggestion with a colour photograph from (as far as I remember "Skrzydlata Polska" from the 1950s. To this day I'm not sure whether the leading edges should be red or navy blue ?

About the model:
The base was a kit from AZ Model in 1/72 scale. I made the interior from scratch - another edition of the kit does include the SP-FXA paint job for the later paint version, but it too does not include the interior for the sanitary version. The model caused me quite a lot of difficulty in gluing - such "greenhouses" require a different approach to assembly and painting. In the end, however, I'm satisfied - I hope you'll like it too

That is a lovely model!   Well done indeed! 

 

How did you make the giant matchstick?

Wow. Impressive. Bravo 👍

Great looking model! This must have been a fiddly construction.

I wonder whether "ambulance version" would be a more fitting expression in English than "sanitary version", but I am also no native speaker.
