Nice, Narayan but you seem to be in a rut. Time maybe for a 109?

Thanks folks.

Funny you should mention that johnsan. I was planning on doing an Airfix 109 next. However as the Airfix site is my internet homepage which I see everyday and they have had this on their front page for a while now:

I've fallen for it's charms and picked one up. The kids are back in school today and I have the day off so I can make a start today.

More details of the kit here

Greetings!

The Kate has been parked for a little bit. No reason really but I wanted to have a go at a couple of kits while I was in England recently and had my haul from Telford which included a couple of Eduard weekend editions. Unfortunately I neglected to take any progress shots until now.

Image

I'm doing this in the Algerian scheme. I've done some more painting since the below picture was taken and I'll be applying klear tonight so it's ready for decals over the weekend.

Next up:

I've started painting the topside of the La-7, it's not far behind the L-39ZA.

Very nice! Those two Weekend Editions look very nice...although, in my experience, they should rename the "Weekend Edition" to more of a "Month-long Edition".

Excellent choices although I also tend to disagree with Eduard's definition of a weekend - it would take me a hell of a lot longer than two days to build any of their "Weekend" editions!!

The concept of a weekend certainly differs between myself and Eduard. However I'm all for their idea of a weekend!

Oooh oooh oooh! Some good stuff.

I think I built an Eduard La- of some kind around 2008. I recall the landing gear being butt-jointed, and a real pain to get right. May be wise to build it before the paint goes on?

The L-39 is all decaled up. I'd forgotten how many decals jets have!

That is looking great Narayan. I tend to build more jets than prop aircraft but the one thing I dislike about the blow torches is the multitude of tiny stencils. I usually apply a few in a nod towards detail and leave off the majority!
