Sissels Czech Zlin Z-142 ** FINISHED **

[Sissel]

This is my second blitz subject.

Will be my first ever HobbyBoss kit. Plastic is clear and offcourse there's a ton of parts!

[jssel]

Oh, now that is cool. Love the scheme. Any other options on the decal sheet?

[Sissel]

It's only that one. Love the scheme myself. A bit worried with the long thin decals though. Patience mode will have to be applied there.
And then there is the yellow which often takes 6-7 thin layers. A very dangerous color during a blitz!

[Ian]

What a little cutie. Looks like a tail sitter, so make sure you stuff the nose, Sissel.

[ShaunW]

Yes, give it a good stuffing

Great choice but unfortunately I won't be here to join in and follow the build. Best of luck!

[Sissel]

But I only stuff turkeys.. or actually I don't stuff them, but eat them as they are. The side dishes make them great.
Dang, now I've turned this into a food thread as well!

Anyway... MUST... REMEMBER... NOSE WEIGHT!!

Bloody eck... I've made over 2000 posts

[ShaunW]

2000 posts? that makes you a UAMF veteran. People with over 2000 posts should get a prize you know, for services rendered

[Sissel]

Can I get one of those really nice trophies? Engraved offcourse.

and in gold, none of that cheapo silver stuff, 2000 posts is a lot of typing

And a lot of nonsense.

[Sissel]

I didn't have paint in order for the Ouragan so I started on the Zlin instead.

Obligatory sprue shot with clock. Look at all those parts!!
Coffee and coke at hand, I need to wake up...

[Old_Tonto]

Great choice of music & subject Sissel.

Are the fuselage & wings clear plastic?

[Sissel]

Yes it's clear plastic. Wonder how the paint will stick.

I couldn't figure out why the primer dried clear. Appear I took varnish instead. Doh!

Anywhere, primed the yellow areas. I didn't bother coating it all allthough I probably should. But as I always need more than one layer of paint, primer or not, I left it clear for now.
Sky is getting more and more blue now, and it's getting warmer. Beach? *sniff*
Modelling room is getting hot now. Beach? *sniff*

[Sissel]

It's a bit tough placing nose weight, not much space. Put some in both upper and lower body.




ALMOST GETTING READY FOR BEACH NOW!

[Old_Tonto]

Good start.

Enjoy the beach. It's raining here.
