pavla aircraft that memories I love them are complicated because as almost all brands of eastern europe are not good lace.
I like what you wear

Oh that is a cute little bird! Typical early short run. I have some old mpm, pavla, a model, etc. which look exactly the same as far as flash goes.

never heard of this kind of plane, cute little fellow. The molds look the same as the molds of the Mach2 Coleoptere I've done last year but the parts look like they are completey molded, a big plus

Just a bit smaller, BSY. Not much scratch work here, that is for sure! Any tips on dealing with the vac-u-form canopy would be appreciated, too.

Normally i use a new 11 blade to cut these vacuform canopies but a good little scissor could work better .put the blue tac (i use patafix here thar are similar product) to fill it and have a better hard grip to manage the tiny fragile piece

After summary cuts you can refine with flies or sanding paper gently
here my works with homemade thermoformed canopies on the jack and Re-2000, are similar way to cut of vacuformed ones
I hope this can help

Thanks! I have never been too successful with these, all the way back to the old stick and paper balsa models.
