Masking tapes removed, revealing a rather faded and worn Swedish camouflage. Now let's give the paint some time to harde...

Thomas, I knew you were going to get this kit! 🙂
I was hesitating a lot between the Swedish box and the Jordanian box. It took me a long time to decide, but in the end I ordered the Jordanian one because I already have several future projects with that fantastic Swedish scheme.
I follow you with great interest (as always). It is quite possible that I will finally regret choosing the Jordanian box 😉

Did some dry-fitting yesterday, and just as I expected by the looks of it, it is definitely A-model quality. A lot of fettling, scraping and sanding is required for a decent fit of the major parts such as the fuselage halves and the wings. Good thing it is a small model!

It seems that it is of the same "quality" as their SF260 and Alpha jet kits. Have you ever built the venerable Airfix kit ?

I will watch too how you turn this ugly duck into a beautiful swan.

Erik, I actually think that this is a retooling of the Airfix kit. Slightly different parts and recessed panel lines, but the breakdown is almost identical.

I´m following. Looks like a bunch of work to get a proper model out of this kit. I'm sure you will handle it.

I think KP/AZ should start an improvement their molds after so many kit releases and sales, as Special Hobby has already successfully done. It is curious that for some kits they make good molds (such as the Bf-109) and for others they are so mediocre.
Despite this, I am sure that Thomas will do an extraordinary job 👍
11 August 2022, 19:51

I am a little late, but from now I will follow with pleasure and interest (like all Thomas's previous builds 😉 )

Looks like a lot of craftsmanship will go into this kit before the end of the build... Curiously following 👍

This little kit is definitely putting up a fight in every step. Silly me, I thought this was going to be a relaxed weekend project, ha ha. 🙂

KP short run = long work. I prefer Vallejo putty for filling seams on this type of kits, as it comes with a fine tip
15 August 2022, 18:39
![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
Erik yes, I think the photo shows a bit of my frustration with the seam lines. It should not be like this for a 2022 tooling.

Thomas, will the skinny front landing gear hold the weight of all those fishing weights?
17 August 2022, 10:59
![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
Well, those weights are juuuust barely enough to keep the Bulldog on its nose gear and still kind of pivots around its main gear. Good thing that the entire engine compartment behind the dashboard is empty so with some Tetris skills you can fill it completely with those fishing weights.
17 August 2022, 17:44
![](/profiles/img/20363-907-s.jpg)
So the front wheel does not support any weight, as the nose is in balance with the tail. I had the same problem with KPs SIAI Marchetti, and the SH Marchetti needs also quite some weight in the nose.
17 August 2022, 17:57
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
not a shake an bake-kit for sure. I like how you tackle it. For maximum usage of weight in tight spaces consider lead granules. They come rather cheap by the kilogram and have a diameter of max 1 - 2 mm. You can even drill a hole into the fuselage after it is closed and pour the granules in - followed by some white glue to fix them.

After having lingered in the limbo state of half-finished projects, I have decided to reboot this build. The screwed up paintjob was removed with IPA alcohol and the model is now back to bare plastic. Some correcting fills are done and it is soon time to reapply the primer. I will make my life easier this time and just build the standard Swedish Air Force version. But I have already purchased a second kit to be finished with the Swedish Army splinter camouflage as I think I know this time how to do it properly. Stay tuned!

Great to see that you have restarted the kit. The weight distribution is a real pain. Had similar challenges with my Airfix SK61 build some months ago, Liquid Gravity sorted the issue.
SwAF livery will look aces. Keep up the spirit!👏🏼👍🏻
5 July, 15:47
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
No idea what that livery will look like, but nice that this one is back at the bench. Reminds me of my Safir which is at a similar state.

![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
Thomas, It's fantastic to read that you are taking up this project again. Great!
6 July, 18:53
![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
Okay, this project definitely appears jinxed. This morning, the model ended up under a tool shelf that toppled over, which resulted in severe damage to the fuselage joins and broke both undercarriage legs and the stabilizers, and the canopy furthermore ended up with a nasty crack. Yes, a wee bit annoying. I will now check if there is anything I can do to salvage the model, but I think that I would rather prefer to restart. Quite frankly I was really starting to regret that I didn't go for the splinter camo, so I see this as an opportunity.
25 July, 20:33
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
Oh shit. That's nasty. To look at this as an opportunity is a brave way to look at it.
Whichever way you choose for the Bulldog I'd like to follow.

Michael, I admit, there was initially some foul language and gnashing of teeth before I could summon the zen mindset.

Masking tape removed - an extremely saisfying part. Well, a tiny bit of overspray on the underwing pylons, but it's all ...

While waiting for some paints to arrive in the mail to continue my MiG-23 build project, I decided to do a very quick build of the Eduard L-39 in my stash. This kit is labeled as a "weekend" build, which might be a bit optimistic for me, but should still be a quick progress.
14 June, 07:14
![](/profiles/img/111505-470-s.jpg)
Do you already have a plan for the shades you're going to use? I found the L-39 classic camouflage very hard to get right. I hope you'll have more luck with it.

For the Hungarian standard camo, MRP has released an entire set, consisting of MRP-351 Brown, MRP-352 Dark Green and MRP-353 Light Blue.
18 June, 16:11
![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
Yesterday I spent some time comparing the hue and tint of the MRP paints with my own mix of Tamiya acrylics (as described in photo 26 above), and found them to be absolutely identical. I also found the MRP paints much too smelly and aggressive and hard to adjust if you want to blend in slightly varying tones in panels etc. The Tamiyas can furthermore be used for extremely diluted thin filter applications, while the MRP are block solid.
19 June, 06:49
![](/profiles/img/111505-470-s.jpg)
Well done on those paints!
I agree with you, Tamiya paints spray great and don't smell nearly as nasty as MRP's.

I see you mixed too much of this colour and used it on the background 😋
Lovely preshading, sth I don't have enough patience for

Very nice painting job, Thomas. Looks fantastic so far 👍
I recently saw that Edward has released the transparent parts of this kit as "L-39 Revised Canopy":

Do you know what problem the original transparent parts have?
24 July, 17:49
![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
Cuajete, thank you! No, I wasn't aware of any issues with the canopy. To me, the version provided in the kit is good enough, it certainly looks correct compared with photos.
24 July, 19:53
![](/profiles/img/25743-467-s.jpg)
I'm not sure, but the kit photos show onle the multi part canopy. The revised Canopy kit also has a single peace closed version.
25 July, 04:27
![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
Nicolas, yes, you are right. With the new set you also get a closed canopy so the builder doesn't have to join the separate pieces together. I guess it makes for a simpler build.
