What a lovely build! If I might ask, how were the exterior intakes to attach? I ask because Brenhen had a difficult time with them in his build: http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=56329

Same here ! I had a hard time wiith the kit intake. It took me 2 days just to get the darn things flush with the fuselage. Following your links, I'm afraid Brenhen attached the intake upside down, please excuse if I''m wrong.

Yes, it struck me his intakes flare out in a way that isn't apparent on the L-39Cs the Bees were flying.

On the other hand, Jose Pires' build looks more like the actual planes:

No offense to Brenhen, but looking at his photos, I'm sure he installed the intakes on the wrong sides.

 

Looking great Viva- 

 

Cheers

Hi all,

 

Some update: decal is "too" good, too thin so be careful, I left most of the stencil due to so many of them :) . A pin wash using Mig panel line dark grey, natural brown, black knight follow by some rain mark from Mig. I used color pencil for all the chips and scratch on the fuselage. More works ahead, ground equipment, gun sight, towing bar...etc. All pics were taken with my phine camera so the quality isn't good enough.

The decaling is so realistic, you can't tell the difference from it or paint. Very, very well done. Just one question, did the decals come looking like they were weathered, or did you lightly overcoat them to blend them in?

Hi Joel,

Thanks for the comments, I sealed the decal with 2 coat of semi gloss vanish, then airbush a faded color (white, blue and red) on the roundle decal and used some oil color to blend everything. together. I also added some chippings using a fine tip color pencil

Based on one pic I found on the web, even I don't know what is the name or the function of this equipment but it should add some color to spice things up. I used Lego blocks to create the overall shape as I don't want to spend much time with this. Light curring putty used to fill all the gaps. The red/white check board are uneven at some places but I wouldn't care too much :) . Wheels will be added later on, that's all for today.
