Transall NG
Hello Guy,
You may try fishing wire "UNI-Caenis 20 Den Black" for your next antennas wire : it is like spandex, has some elasticity, and doesn't need to be stretched so mast doesn't bend.
It is also very convincing for 1/72 : i can't see it if i don't wear my glasses...
Fine work !

Guy Rump
Hi Transall NG, many thanks for your kind comment and tip for an improved method for antenna wire, I'll definitely be giving it a go in the near future! 👍

The next one of my projects will be the RAAF Boomerang by Special Hobby, a mix of plastic and resin. 🙂

Sergej I
Interesting and unusual topic 🙂 👍

Guy Rump
Made a start on the Boomerang, the cockpit is a fair number of pieces. The internal main colour is Vallejo BS Interior Green. 🙂

Welcome along Sergej, hopefully it will go together in a decent fashion! . 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Sergej I & Matti T. 👍

Moreno Baruffini
Following! I have just added it to my stash, and I also noticed that the cockpit is made by a lot of pieces!!!!!

Djordje Nikolic
Me too!

Guy Rump
After quite a bit of to-ing and fro-ing, I managed to get the cockpit in and the fuselage together. Wings went together ok. 🙂

Welcome Moreno, Nicolas & Djordje! 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Bernd G, Moreno B, Daniel K, Sukhoi242 & Derek B. 👍

Patrick Hagelstein
Looking good Guy! I kinda like the stubby purposeful shape of a Boomerang.

Guy Rump
Wings were added to the fuselage. Filler added to several parts but not too much. 🙂

Thanks for your kind comment Patrick, it was definitely a strange shape for its time! 👍

Excellent work. How was the build?

Many thanks for your kind comment Dave. The build was really good except for trying to fit the cockpit into the fuselage which was quite difficult. Definitely recommended. 👍

Palo M
I heard mixed comments about this model previously, but so far, it has been excellent. Maybe not at the level of the Wildcat from Eduard, but still goes together very well and the instruction manual is easier to follow than Eduard's. In a few hours today, managed to finish the cockpit and the main weapon's bay (unpainted for now).

Palo M
Is it just me where I got a point with the kit where I can't be bothered to continue? Filling a gap with putty and sanding it to get is smooth at the engine intakes and having no will to go on. Hope it's fixed soon so I get excited about the kit again

Palo M
I'm quite happy with the tester, I think it works, just want to wait for 24h to see how it changes color after drying. In the picture, the individual colours are hard to tell apart, but check the metallic effect on the right side - that's MRP "have glass" and it really needs a video to appreciate. From what I've seen so far, highly recommended!

Neil
Nice work Palo 👍 following...

Finally it's worth uploading a picture again. Apart from being busy with other things, there were lots of corrections in the engine exhaust area and some minor ones in the cockpit as well. First layer of black is on, will need at least 1-2 more.

Cristian A
Following, good job so far.

Palo M
Thank you Cristian! Taking a break for the summer, hope to continue in late August.

James C
Looking good 👍

Cristian A
wonderful result! well done!!

Thomas Kolb
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.

Thanks @Łukasz, well spotted!

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
Fabulous indeed 👍
