Alex KFantastic result, as always from you, on a demanding kit - and another rarity joins your collection! 👍 👍
PS. Now, after the Auster and the L-17, you need a Sentinel... (and a Beaver...) 😉

Thomas KolbHow on earth did you manage the windows to look so thin and scale accurate?

Elias Korompilis Yazar@ Michael Kohl & Thomas Kolb:
The original part windows and windscreen outlines have a somewhat wrong shape. I removed the raised detail, scribed new outlines and repolished the transparency. Because of the material removed during this process the canopy became thinner 🙂 The window seals is black paint wash in the scribed line.
See here: ipmsdeutschland.de/a..avion_Vergleich.html for the kit's inaccuracies, more or less I corrected them all as better as I could. Also i reconstructed the wheel wells and changed the length of the landing gears for the airframe to have the correct attitude

Album info
Another rarity from those I enjoy to built. Five L-17B's (91961 to 91965) delivered to RHAF in 1949 and used in the utility role for a few years. A couple of them survive to this day in private hands abroad.
The valom kit requires some effort to look a bit more close to the real thing 🙂
