Wow! I have this kit and haven't touched it because it's rather intimidating. You've done an amazing job with it.

thank you Skyhiker, kit has some fit issues but I didn't bother, just wanted to see it done, kit is just out of the box, except for the decals, original ones were unusable

Is that a dry brush technique on the raised panel lines? The results are very good. I was trying to figure out how to manage them. They are out of scale and I was considering re-scribing, or buying decals. But I think that would not make the results any better than what you have achieved. Sometimes easier is better. What paints did you use?

I like more the process of panting and weathering than building. so I try not to over complicate my builds, most of them are just out of the box kits. This is an old kit with few details, some fit issues and inaccuracies, there're really good aftermarket pieces to make it more accurate, but that would take me longer time to finish, and I have other projects that I want to see finished. About the paints I used MRP primer (MRP-APB), Tamiya Insignia White (LP-35) + Tamiya Lacquer Thinner (L-10) as base color, for the white patches Ammo Matt White (MIG-050), and all black areas are Tamiya NATO Black (XF-69), all acrylics thinned with Modellers World Acrylic Doctor Thinner. Everything was covered with VMS Matt Varnish HD. All weathering was done with Oil Wash: Aircraft brownish grey from Modellers World and Oil Wash: For white & winter camouflage also from Modellers World, this two colors were applied as panel line Wash, the cleaning, blending and blurring "washes" was done with OILS thinner & cleaner from Modellers World. No dry brushing, paints, enamels or other techniques were used.

Following along/ I have the later boxing so a good chance to learn from your journey. I agree the inside is pretty bare with no detail.

Thomas, are you considering getting rid of the decal with my support perhaps? 😉

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.

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.

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.

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":
L-39 Revised Canopy (Eduard 7040Y, 1:72)
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

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.

![](/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.

@ Cuajete: I tried it direktly from Thomas' albums. There it works, but ther is a notice that comments are disabled.
