Sissels Czech Zlin Z-142 ** FINISHED **
This is my second blitz subject.
Will be my first ever HobbyBoss kit. Plastic is clear and offcourse there's a ton of parts!

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

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!

What a little cutie. Looks like a tail sitter, so make sure you stuff the nose, Sissel.
I'm a mostly full-time modeller put a part-time poster....

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!

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

Great choice of music & subject Sissel.
Are the fuselage & wings clear plastic?

Re: Sissels Czech Zlin Z-142 ** Started **
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*

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!
