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.

Clement
Great job on that cockpit.
Following with interest.

Łukasz Gliński
Me 2 👍 That cockpit is astonishing 😮

Harry Eder
Great start! I'll watching 3

Clement
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.

Mr D
Looking good, cockpit green is 👍 nice.
Coming on good 👌

Łukasz Gliński
@Clement: I think I've seen these colours released lately by Mr.Paiint

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat here.

Ekki
Watching too.

Clement

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.

Thomas Kolb
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.

Clement
Well done on those paints!
I agree with you, Tamiya paints spray great and don't smell nearly as nasty as MRP's.

Cuajete
I was missing this one.
Well done so far, Thomas! 👍

J35J
Great progress!👍🏻

Łukasz Gliński
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

István Szücs
Very nice build and paintwork!

Cuajete
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?

Guy Rump
Looking great 👍

Thomas Kolb
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.

Nicolas
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.

Thomas Kolb
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
Thank you mates! 👍

Michael Kohl
Taking a late seat. Interesting background information.

Cuajete
Thomas, I thik that your SK 61 Bulldog album was deleted. I can't see it

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

Cuajete
Thank you, Nicolas 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Lovely shading Sir 👍

Moreno Baruffini
Very nice! This build reminds me that I started a similar kit more thas ten years ago, with a Czech camo and some decals already applied...Now It's om the "shelf od doom" ...Maybe something I'll retake it!

Thomas Kolb
And with a little effort, the project is pushed over the finishing line. Photos will come soon!

Cuajete
Fantastic job, Thomas. Very nice result.
Congrats!

Łukasz Gliński

This looks pretty good! Nice with all those flowers 🙂

Michael Kohl
I am in.

István Szücs
Another masterpiece is borning!

Bozzer
Sorry to chip in, MS, but this may help you in the future.
When you remove the chrome, there's a residue underneath. That's sometimes, the reason why there's imperfections in the chrome. The residue is some form of clear coat, that's used before the chrome? That can be removed by soaking in brake fluid, for a while. I've had this issue, mainly with Revell chrome, and it doesn't look great. Sometimes, there's a huge blob, and they just chrome over it. Quality control, needs a kick up the butt, at the factory.
Hope this helps you.

Spanjaard
looking really good

MS K
Oh, Thanks Bozzer. I'll try it next time. 🙂

Villiers de Vos
Very nice progress.

Robert Podkoński
I'm a little late, but from now I will be watching this talent show for sure 🙂

Matteo Pescarin
thanks a lot of sharing, now I'm intrigued... what printer do you have you can use a white toner with it???

Bruce Huxtable
Liking your 'no problem is insurmountable' attitude, and the results 🙂 Inspiring work for sure 🙂

MS K
@Matteo Pescarin - There are printers that can use white custom toner. However, it is not as opaque as the commercial decals, so it honestly falls below my expectations.
What I use is ghost white toner.
At first, I planned to buy an Alps printer, but I had no choice but to give up because it only supported Windows XP.

Spanjaard
I did not know about this ghost white, or is a pitty that just one cartridge seems to be about 300Eur, and if you say that the quality is not good enough......

Martin Oostrom
Exquisite guide MS K. You are a superb modeler.

Sy Bar
Can't wait for the bringing together of all your hard work 🍿👍

Spanjaard
interesting!

Christian Lehmann
Very nice!I will follow this.
