Derek B Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 4 minutes ago, Trak-Tor said: By the way, there was a rumour floating around earlier this year (and I think it was to be taken seriously) that Czech company KP (Kovozavody Prostejov) is working on a new kit of Avia B.35 along their L-29 Delfin in large scale. It could be expected next year I think. Maybe some stuff from the Legato kit will be used while making it... Juraj Nice, I have always liked the Avia B.35/B.351 aircraft Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 24 minutes ago, LSP_Kevin said: That's a very nice build! From what I can tell, the Legato kit comes with PE and decals. The kit I have has neither, but does come with a sheet of paint masks. There's also a couple of sheets of drawings - one for the basic assembly, and one for the painting guide. Perhaps I should just start a build thread and see what comes out of it. Kev Good idea Kev...it could be built as a kit of 'unknown provenance'!

Something like UPK (Unidentified Plastic Kit). Can't wait to see it on my own eyes. Juraj Derek B and LSP_Kevin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 Topper confirms that it's a copy of the Legato kit, but will provide more details when he returns from his vacation. I'm guessing it's an illegal copy, but it may also be legit. We shall see! Kev Trak-Tor, Derek B and LSP_K2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Hey Kev. I have the 1:32 Legato kit. If I can help you in any way let me know. You need a copy of the instructions? Trak-Tor and LSP_Kevin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a copy of the instructions? Thanks, Troy - I'll let you know! This kit looks to be pretty simple, and barring any really nasty fit issues, would probably be a pretty simple build, too. There's really not more than about 25-30 parts, and I reckon the provided exploded-view assembly diagram is probably adequate. Of course, I won't know until I crack it open properly and start trying to build it. At this point I just need to be able to confirm its particulars so that I can add it to the Kit Database.

LSP_Ray Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Hehe, I never knew I had such a weird kit! I am pretty sure it was sold to me as a Legato kit, maybe off eBay, but my memory is not that good and I have bought way too many models.

Trak-Tor Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Great! Thanks for the effort. Juraj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I'm happy to know that KP is seriously considering the Avia as I never succeeded in finding one. Moreover, I have no doubt the kit will be better than the old resin kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 Thanks, Marcel! The ZIP Modelist kit looks eminently buildable to me, and I certainly intend to do so. I better go put it in the Kit Database, before I forget. Kev LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
