The fit is overall excellent. No filling required. The double slotted flaps are well visible (main flaps not installed yet).

As usual I use wire 0,3mm for attachment of flaps and similar parts. So it’s easier to reach the correct position and angle.

As usual I intend to paint the flaps and stabilizer separately.

Unfortunately the precut vinyl masks are to small and has wrong shape. So I had to replace them.

The most difficult decals in place. After applying Agama's green and black fluids and overspraying with H135 (semimat varnish) the carrier film is practically invisible. 🙂

Oh, the next one of the agro-chemical weeks 👍 I'm in the first row here!

Manure- bomber the second ! 😄. Checkin' in as well. What was the job of the man in the back seat, stirring up the tank's content ? 😄

Moin Hanno. Hab eben bei Wiki nachgelesen: beim Wechsel der Agrarbereiche konnte der zuständige Mechaniker mitfliegen und sich um „sein" Flugzeug durchgängig kümmern. Es ist wohl keine Lümmelcouch aber immerhin gepolstert🙂

Bernhard, ein Flieger, der zu Deinen Namen passt.
Das schau ich mir an. Ein Flieger mit dem ich 1878 Flugstunden gemacht habe. 😉

Bernhard Schrock
Bernhard: dann habe ich aus deiner Sicht mit der Typenwahl ins Schwarze getroffen... 1878 Stunden: seeeehr beachtlich. Ist unter den Markierungen im Bausatz vielleicht sogar „Deine" Maschine dabei?

Hanno Kleinecke
Ahh, na klar, das ergibt Sinn! Danke für die Erleuchtung 🙂

Nein, das war eine Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Kennzeichen über mehrere Jahre. Man kann aber an Hand der Decals jede deutsche Kennung zusammenstellen.
Die erste war die DM-SQO, die letzte DM-SRP.

I would also vote for a Interflug livre! I loved the yellow "Hummel" as a child 🙂

Hej. Habe ich überlegt aber mich zur Ehren vom Hersteller (Zlin) für die tschechische Version entscheiden.

Oh, that is for sure a valid reason! The white/yellow with the red stripe from your projects picture looks nice 👍

I'm very happy Bernhard, that you decided to build this plane! I'll be watching the build and looking forward to seeing the result. I have no doubt it will be another masterpiece. 👍

Taking a seat as well. Was not aware of this kit. Great detailing as always 👍

Bernhard, Achtung, der Ölkühler war auf der rechten Seite.

Oops… danke für den Hinweis, Bernhard. In der Tat. Werde ich gleich ändern.

Impressive build again, this time mostly oob? I really like the details on the wing surface, this will look fantastic with paint.

Bernhard Schrock
Moin moin bughunter. Yep: nearly OOB🙂 because the detailing of the kit is outstanding. I intend to replace only the grips and door handles with wire. Yesterday I finished the third paint session (yellow). I will post pictures today.

Aaahh, pretty yellow ! 😄 das Agama - Zeug wirkt auch in diesem Fall Wunder: Schmiegt sich perfekt an, kein Trägerfilm zu sehen !

On that surface your result is even hard to reach with masking, so congrats 👍

Moin Jungs. Das Trio von Agama ist klasse und der starke der beiden Weichmacher der sprichwörtliche Hammer! Der kriegt jedes Decal klein.🙂 Allerdings so wie in der Anleitung geschrieben Finger weg nach dem Aufbringen und das Decal in Ruhe lassen. An einer Stelle glaubte ich eine Luftblase andrücken zu müssen ubd wurde sofort bestraft!🙁 Zum Glück ließ sich das Schwarz schnell ausbessern.

Thank you Mates. I'm glad that you like my OOB project. I was a kind of test if it is possible for me to build a kit OOB without the hi tec aftermarket products🙂.
