The ailerons, stabilisers and the rudder are meant to simulate the linen surface, but it's way too prominent. So I try to soften it down, using some sanding and MrCement glue. Left: before. Right: after.

The flash is incredible 😄

Strating the cockpit works, the walls are empty - in the first batches there were some details, but they're gone.
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/3/2/8/1242328-13641-20-720.jpg)
Ailerons have different sizes on both sides 😄 The blue is underside, the red is topside.

Adding PE, not gonna use the whole fret, too detailed.
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/3/3/0/1242330-13641-91-720.jpg)
First colours.

Washed interior, just before closing.

Had to split the canopy, back is original. The front will be vacu, as the original part is hideously shaped.

Drybryshed desktop, just before closing.

And the last glimpse on the rest of the cockpit.
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/3/3/6/1242336-13641-15-720.jpg)
Dat flash 😄
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/5/4/4/1245544-13641-62-720.jpg)
First priming (and I took care of a proper background)
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/1/2/2/1257122-13641-11-720.jpg)
Did blue and yellow this weekend.
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/0/8/0/1259080-13641-87-720.jpg)
Added some grey.
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/0/8/1/1259081-13641-81-720.jpg)
And even more of grey.
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/0/8/2/1259082-13641-74-720.jpg)
Varnished and waiting for decalling.

![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/6/1/5/1272615-13641-93-720.jpg)
Decals are there
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/0/4/0/1274040-13641-12-720.jpg)
Started attaching the remaining stuff, like prop for example. As you can see the original instruction is fantastic when it comes to colours 😄
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/9/4/0/1276940-13641-52-720.jpg)
The damn rigging has been completed, perhaps bit too low, but I'm not gonna correct it.
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/4/4/4/1280444-13641-44-720.jpg)
I must have had some solvent leftovers on my sticky fingers 🙁
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/4/4/5/1280445-13641-68-720.jpg)
Spent whole evening fixing it.
![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/4/4/6/1280446-13641-85-720.jpg)
And finally! 😄

Circa 30 years apart, I think I improved a bit 🙂

Flash looks ok-ish. Had a kit were I couldn't tell where the wing ended and the flash started!

Watching, of course! Do you call it flash?! These are only some mould imperfections 😉

Or an (in)famous Novo kit - I have fantastic Fairey Delta in my stash which I use as a source of fragments of thin plasticard 😄

Just to be clear on this - all the parts are still there (but the "sprues" look like vacuformed kit 😉 )
6 June 2022, 05:00
![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
Phew! I like to build such oldies from time to time, so I was thinking "poor Delta" 😛

I would never destroy such an unique kit of such an unique plane... One has to observe some rules 😉

What an odd construction of the wing part! Oh, Plastyk I see. You are a brave man. Nice start, this will be interesting to watch!

Following! After doing the razorback version (Yak-1) a few years ago I need to say that you are a courageous man ideed tackling this one 😜

Thank you all! 🙂 On one hand every single part requires some corrections or flash cleanup (or both), but at the same time it's a simple kit with limited number of parts luckily 😄
PS. I'm not going to rescribe it.

I kinda get your urge to build this oldies, but also kinda don't 😄 following for sure 👍

Welcome my dear padawans, enjoy the first primer before I start to correct it 🙂

Hi Lukasz. You're pushing the envelope for sure with this. Looking great so far. 🙂

Thanks, it's not a hole, I just lost this part of masking in the process 🙂

Hi Lukasz, looking for perfection like always? Seems like you are on a good way like always! Looks so nice in the camo already. 👍
19 July 2022, 20:04
![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
Welcome. Not really for perfection. The initial plan was to build it OOB, but it turned out my example came from already worn molds and the fuselage was empty inside 🙁

Looking really good Łukasz! Much positive memories come to mind when seeing such nostalgic builds.

Thanks. Patryk, that explains all the fun and motivation I experience during this build 👍

Thank you mates, I can announce this build finished, enjoy the pics 🙂

Looks great, Łukasz!!
Very nice painting job. The age of the tool goes unnoticed 👍
Congrats!

Well this is real treasure. I remember this kit when I was young. I've bought it in Prague. But the result was far, far worse than yours 👍.

Very glad to see you like it (and the hangar too 😄 ) I did my best to hide the age of the sprues and the really bad canopy parts.

Many thanks my friends, thought you may miss the green/brown camo 😋
