ericg Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Have finally got around to taking photos of my finished L-39. It was up there with the harder of my builds so far and that is why it spent 5 years partially completed, or should I say, on the shelf of doom! Additions. Master Model Pitot tubes x 2, Master Model Static wicks x 5 Scratchbuilt: Anti collision beacon on top of fuselage, Anti collision Beacon on bottom of fuselage, GPS antenna in front of windshield, Nose and main gear down indicators, Red and green Nav lights on wingtip tanks, Clear light on tip of tail, Horizontal antennas on top of tail fin x 2, Rudder and aileron actuator rods, 3 x radio Antennas (2 on bottom of nose and 1 on top of fuselage), 2 x Canopy stays, Metal foil seatbelts with kit photo etched buckles, Nose sensor probe protective cover, Blind flying hood and actuator, Exhaust pipe lip, Ejection seat wiring, Canopy rear view mirror. Gun pod cover hinged as I couldn't decide whether I liked it opened or closed! Finish: Custom masked roundels and serial numbers, Kit stencil data ShelbyGT500, Stevepd, Jan_G and 21 others 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Cross Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 When I saw "Albatros," I was expecting a string bag. It's both a fine build AND a model I've never seen before. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
