Primer on the upper surfaces. A little work needed on the starboard wing to fuselage seam. Otherwise good.

Re: In with a Zlin
Coming together well Andrew, out of interest what have you used to mask the cockpit glazing?
Best wishes

2 mm wide masking tape around the edges of the frames and filled in with Silly Putty (I used to use blutack, but Silly Putty leaves no residue).iggie wrote:Coming together well Andrew, out of interest what have you used to mask the cockpit glazing?

Not worth a photo.

Re: In with a Zlin
It is a pretty nice kit. Just need some white on the undersides now, and then masking up for the blue stripes. There's even a PE set if you want to jazz it up.Old_Tonto wrote:Good progress Andrew. This looks like a nice kit.

The PE is mostly for the interior - instrument panel and seat belts.
I finished spraying the white.
