Eduard 1/72 scale L-39C Albatros Trainer

Post by BlackSheep214 »

The kit was a joy to build. No fit issues and a fairly quick build. I chose not to do any of the schemes provided in the kit's guide but I wanted to do a simple scheme I found on Pinterest. This is the photo I was inspired to do.


Image

Same scheme, different numbers (I cut out the number 1), and I had all the decals for the rest. I skipped out on the stupid tiny stencils.

Undersides shot. Skipped on the wing tanks.

Topside shots...

Wingtip decal...

Colors used...

Light Ghost Grey (undersides)

Camo scheme:

Model Master Pale Green and Euro 1 Dark Green

Model Master Chrome Yellow

Very nice!
