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

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!

J35J
Found this gem on the web. Time for another vacu kit!

Thanks Alex & Gordon for your intrest!

gorby
Looks like an interesting and challenging project.

J35J
Thanks Gorby! This is my second vacu kit build and this time it feels a little bit more straight forward…
My experience so far with vacu kits is that you have to spend a good amount of time on fitting, sanding and putty work to get a nice base for paint and finishing. Also spending quite some time reviewing old photos to get a good picture of the details. This as there is a fair amount of scratch work to get a decent build.

Łukasz Gliński
Brave idea

Robert Podkoński
You're a brave man, indeed! I will follow this thread with pleasure, for sure.

Michael Kohl
Me too
