Skvělá sbírka, Ludvík! Opravdu, jsi šikovný modelář!

Lovely little model! It's nice to see something different on Scalemates.

Neuling
I agree with gorby.

Ludvík Kružík
Thank you for your kind feedback. I really appreciate it and I'm glad you like the Avia. 🙂

I plan to expand my Avia collection with more models in the future. For now, however, I intend to move closer in time to the present and focus on more modern machines.

Ludvík Kružík
Thank you all for your thumbs.

As usual, you have brought this project to a good end - a very nice addition to this collection 👍

MENG lost much fame on their KT and Panther tanks. They truly provided a full set of interior, with a hull with incorrect dimensions ( too long IMHO) and too "erected" suspension bogeys, make it looks taller. Some modellers complained about poor plastic (especially the dark red release) even turned their cement red.
Despite more than 12,000 sets ordered even before released, it's just a kit with reasonable price.
Look at the link-and-length tracks, would you tell the parts as "tracks" before they are attached to running wheels?
Well, there is a movable individual track and "torsion bar" sets sold separately, price nearly equals a tank.

Perhaps there were some small issues - but there are also some good points. No kit is perfect and some require more work than others. Most modellers like to tinker about to add their own mark and make any corrections found by research. The more experienced you become the less likely 'OOB' builds
As for tracks - don't make me laugh! Most Modellers (not me) spend a fortune on metal tracks and lazy AM stuff.

This kit has been popular, the interior makes the Trumpeter 1/16 one look a joke (which was one of the reasons for the interior set), has a metal barrel and will build into a fine rendition of the real thing

You can look at a few of my attempts at builds - a few cheap kits were just test beds to get my skills up as I spent about 3 decades away

I always scratch were necessary after I read up on the subject. Today there is too much reliance on AM and metal tracks

These pictures start a build that gives me my first experience with 'Clear Prop' - and they are good ones! The fineness of the shapes, the accuracy of fit and the meaningfulness of the construction steps seem to combine to create a pleasurable building experience!
This plane is also highly interesting: originally derived as a drone for shooting practice from a small civilian predecessor model, hundreds were pulverised in the air. Some of those that survived this use went on to have an amazing career as light sports aircraft and enjoyed great popularity in the 1940s.

Oh, a brand new kit?
It is hard to keep track all your parallel running builds! You speed of building all those birds is simply unbelievable and a great mystery to me!

Robert Podkoński
I have the same impressions as Bughunter, frankly speaking 🙂 Following this build for sure.

Michael Kohl
Me too

Hello mates! How nice that this small but lovely project has your interest and positive feedback! Indeed, a brand new kit that immediately caught my interest when I stumbled across it - so it ended up on the workbench straight away.
To answer the question about the current density of my projects: on the one hand, I sometimes wonder myself 🙂 On the other hand, I suspect that it has something to do with running three or four, maybe even five (at the moment, for example) projects in parallel . Something is 'always' being finished or started.

Roland Sachsenhofer
I made the following preparations for the bright red of the final surface: first I applied yellow followed by a layer of white to the model. After drying, I sanded this base, which should make the following red "glow", with 1000, 1200 and 2000 grit sandpaper to make the colour layers more transparent again, to get a smooth surface and to find any flaws - you can see a few exposed on the fuselage and tail unit. I am surprised by the very high quality of the kit and look forward to finishing it!

Roland Sachsenhofer
It looks like the Culver PQ-14 is ready! This was a most enjoyable project from start to finish. I am delighted with my first "clear prop" kit and I enjoyed the unusual history of the original. I made the seat belts and the aerial wiring, everything else can be found in the beautifully finished kit.
Thank you for your interest and your helpful and motivating comments!

Robert Podkoński
Simply beautiful!

Neuling
Yes! And good photos.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you very much, mates- very appreciated!!

gorby
Lovely!
I've not seen this aircraft before.

Alex K
Beautiful! Great work as always... 👍 And also: thanks for showing this - it gave me the opportunity to revisit Culver's lineage: the Culver Dart, Cadet, Model V... the role played by Al Mooney... the PQ drones... Lovely!

Guy Rump
Great job of yet another unusual aircraft. 👍

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you for your motivating comments and your interest in a not often seen aircraft, mates! Alex, your list was an inspiration for me to have a look - and to find some interesting aircraft and interesting references - Culver: an amazing manufacturer! thanks!

Vincent
Great result. This is indeed a great subject!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Vincent, thank you for your kind reply, appreciated!

Curatorm
Smart and brilliant! Special word for the very nice airsrew.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you for this motivating reply!

I'm back from Austria and this is finished already - Wow. That was quick, but with usual great quality!

nikfrost
Will be keeping an eye on this, it's on my wishlist to complete one day

Martin Oostrom
I definitely take a seat. I bought this kit, got very impressed with the size of the box and my shortage of storage space. So I sold it again

John Hughes
Room up top for another? I've got the platinum edition in my stash and it does look a beauty of a kit.

bughunter
Resin? Got mine some days ago and it has a wooden fuselage, as shown in preview of Internet Modeller.

Transall NG
Have one in my hands presently and i confirm a wooden fuselage.

bughunter
There were both, resin and wood fuselage kit variants.
It's a pity AJP Maquettes seems to be gone now (web site last seen Feb 2024, no answer to emails) 🙁
