AMK Aero L-29 Delfin

[Joesdad]

Another jet for me, this time AMK's lovely little Aero L-29 Delfin (Dolphin) trainer..





I've got some extras, first time resin user and brass pitot's



Lovely seats, by Aries



The kit nose bay is actually fine, easily good enough



Tub made up, loosely fitted



Ready for priming



This is a lovely little kit, I sure you've heard about AMK' s quality, well it's all true! I'm making heavy weather of the resin stuff though. There's going a few first with this kit..resin, brass, free hand camouflage( ).
Thanks for looking

Lovely build, Tim. That cockpit looks the Mutt's nuts.

Daft question: What's the brown putty stuff you used to weight the nose?

[Goose]

Hello,

i've got it in the stash, i bought the big ed for this but didn 't know that the electric bay for the nose existed in resin. The details are great.

Hope to do as well as you with what i have won't buy the resin for the nose...but the seats are....tempting!!!

A bit of a jump forward....





Dodgy canopy...



Painting by numbers...







I'm not sure about these colours...













I've tried the X22 clear and Mr Hobby levelling thinner thingy. I need more practice but it is smooooth...






I'm not sure wether to wash or not, I don't really want a dirty girl....

I know exactly what you mean, I'm terrible for getting half way through a build then loosing the plot. I have to really grind a build out sometimes to finish it.

[rwsmith14]

Looks great!! Just order one of these today

Cheers Elve but I've just noticed that I've buggered up the camo pattern I'm also I too minds as to stick on a wash or not I don't particularly want a rough looking plane just something subtle......

[Joesdad]

First an apology, there is a big jump to were I'm at here. Lots of reasons but at least I'm done, here you go...


















That's it for this lovely kit, I would recommend this most definitely.
Thanks for looking
