Pete Fleischmann Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hi Gents- I know HPH announced a 1/32 L-39 a while back. Anyone know what the status is? Their L-29 Delfin was beautiful... Cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyT Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Here is my paint design, they added the eyes, stars and CCCP's after It was sold and tweaked the wing tips a bit, but I designed the original scheme for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericg Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I was just talking about this one with Adam and Kevin at expo in Melbourne the other day. Would be one that I would like to add to my collection for sure. Will also be very interested when in comes out. Eric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very pretty looking ship Tony. Are these decals going to be in the HPH kit? This is a handsome looking little jet. If the price point is right, it would be a cool one to add to my stash.

TonyT Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I don't know, but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I don't know, but I doubt it. Too bad, its a lovely scheme. Im pretty sure Ian at Ad Astra could produce the badge, then paint masks for the rest......... Cheers, Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 The decals included are for Czech and Algerian air force aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honza Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Czech is all you need and btw, it is going to be the "ZA" version will be getting one for sure. Edited June 19, 2012 by Honza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnarg Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 How big of a deal is it to mod to the C version? Wikipedia seems to indicate that there is a big list of changes, but does the detail really show up in more than the hard points and the landing gear? I am really partial to the Reno air racers and to one in Estonian colors, but they were probably all C versions (faster, unarmed and lighter).

Pete Fleischmann Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) I just took my checkride in this L-39C Here's me (on the left) with my check airman after the checkride-This guy gives checkrides in the L-39, L-29, T-6, T-28, and OV-1 Wonderful jet.

ericg Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Love the 3rd pic Pete. As an aviator myself I know the feeling of a succesful check. Would love to go for a fly with you but it won't be any time soon! Will be very keen to get my hands on this bird. Eric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jet is very easy, with simple and reliable systems. I did three rides with an instructor then took the checkride. In the states they(the FAA) gives you an "Authorized Experimental Aircraft- AV L-39" endorsement on your certificate. Come on up and we'll wring it out- ..And just so there is no misunderstanding..It is against the FAA rules to charge non-pilot passengers for a ride in an experimental jet- Cheers Pete Edited June 25, 2012 by Pete Fleischmann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honza Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Modify to "C" model - I would compare it to modifying F-16A to a C variant On the serious note. L-39C cannot carry anything under the wings (does not have the wires, pipes etc.), has different undercarriage & wheels (ZA is beefed up), different engine so therefore exhaust pipe doesn`t look the same, does not carry a canon pod to name the most glaring ones from external point of view. Inside, obviously, the cockpit in ZA version has extra weapon panels and slightly different design of dials/instruments compared to C. Under the skin, they are 2 very different airplanes structure-wise. Best reference would be WWP publication on L-39 topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
