Air pockets at the bottom of the fuselage filled, fin top reconstructed (there was a bubble at the very tip...)
![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/5/6/7/1481567-48972-26-720.jpg)
Main parts joined (the automotive putty will be necessary - there is a lot of tiny air bubbles in the leading edge of the lower wing...)

Tidying up the air bubbles on the trailing edge of the upper wing.

For Ludvik 😉 - this is a small plane (Zlin in 1/72nd scale)

Some sticky fluid appeared from beneath the primer here and there 🙁 Cleaning and sanding in process...

The main airframe is painted white and I applied clear varnish. Waiting till this cures thoroughly...
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/7/0/0/1507700-48972-73-720.jpg)
I had to repaint the whole airframe again due to the aforementioned fluid leaking from beneath the paint 😭 But I have achieved some progress - decals are already on.

Robert, you're fighting it bravely. Looks like you've declared all-out war on bubbles 😄.
The comparison to Zlin is apt. Even though the scale is large, the model is a dwarf 🙂.
I look forward to further progress.

Welcome, Jennifer!
I am going to use a heavy artillery today, Ludviku 😉 - automotive putty!

Oh. I just got this one recently - in 1:72. Spoiled by flawless castings from Balaton and Eduard I was quite disappointed by the yersterday casting of Brengun. Follow your struggle and progress with interest.

Robert, I wish you a lot of patience while working on this model.
I have the same experience with Brengum resin castings. They contain a lot of air bubbles. I'm not saying that's why they can't be used, but it sure adds a lot of work.

Looks that "Quicky" doesn't refer to the speed of the build process with this kit. Good luck.

Not that bad, Ben - but I have few kits in my stash that fit your description perfectly... 😉 Thanks, Villiers!

Robert, you've done a great job and it's starting to look like an airplane. 👍.
Resin kits can often surprise. Especially sets with an older production date. In some cases, however, this is the only way to get an interesting model.

Plastic suggestive, double entendre noted!!
Let's see if this one stands up on display, etc…

I had to remove the paint... there appeared many strange "bubbles" from under the paint...

Uff 1:32? Your attraction to scales varies greatly between 1:144 and large scales. How about 1:350, heck, 1:700 and 1:16 at the other end?
Duck away and gone ...

Usually I am attracted by the topic, and I do not care for the scale much. Actually, I have one 1/350 plane completed already:
Saunders-Roe SR.45 (AMG 350-302, 1:350)
and two dirigibles in 1/720 as well 😉
