viva Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Back to the hobby after 2 years break, I tackled the L-39ZA from HPH models as a fresh start. The L-39 in 1/32 from HPH models is really an amazing kit with full resin, HGW fabric seatbelt, 2 fret of color and bress PE made by Eduard, masking for canopy....surely you won't need any AM stuff. I'm begin with the wings by separating the casting blocks, the job was done with a plastic scriber. http:// The 2 bang seats are the model by itself, HPH required the modeler to scratchbuild some handle and cable. The fabrics seat belt took me 2 hours to put together but the result really worth all the hard works. http:// http:// http:// http:// Tnarg, ShotMagnet, cib2265 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viva Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) The wings are on, the intake trunk was a nightmare but won't bother too much as I gonna use some FOD to cover this area. HPH managed to put thousands of rivet on the wjng, however too swallow and won't able to hold a wash. I use a pointed needle to deepend every single rivet. It takes time but I think it's worth the effort. Before After Edited May 12, 2017 by viva dutik, Anthony in NZ, tomv87 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ray Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 That is an impressive cockpit! Looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel_W Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Nice start. The two bang seats with the seatbelts and harness looks really good. Well worth the time and effort, as well as the Pit which looks much better with the new lighting. Will be following along with great interest.
