Flash looks ok-ish. Had a kit were I couldn't tell where the wing ended and the flash started!

Watching, of course! Do you call it flash?! These are only some mould imperfections 😉

Or an (in)famous Novo kit - I have fantastic Fairey Delta in my stash which I use as a source of fragments of thin plasticard 😄

How dare you?! I thought blasphemy is illegal in this country 😛

Just to be clear on this - all the parts are still there (but the "sprues" look like vacuformed kit 😉 )

Phew! I like to build such oldies from time to time, so I was thinking "poor Delta" 😛

I would never destroy such an unique kit of such an unique plane... One has to observe some rules 😉

What an odd construction of the wing part! Oh, Plastyk I see. You are a brave man. Nice start, this will be interesting to watch!

Following! After doing the razorback version (Yak-1) a few years ago I need to say that you are a courageous man ideed tackling this one 😜

Thank you all! 🙂 On one hand every single part requires some corrections or flash cleanup (or both), but at the same time it's a simple kit with limited number of parts luckily 😄
PS. I'm not going to rescribe it.

I kinda get your urge to build this oldies, but also kinda don't 😄 following for sure 👍

Welcome my dear padawans, enjoy the first primer before I start to correct it 🙂

Hi Lukasz. You're pushing the envelope for sure with this. Looking great so far. 🙂

Thanks, it's not a hole, I just lost this part of masking in the process 🙂

Hi Lukasz, looking for perfection like always? Seems like you are on a good way like always! Looks so nice in the camo already. 👍

Welcome. Not really for perfection. The initial plan was to build it OOB, but it turned out my example came from already worn molds and the fuselage was empty inside 🙁

I'm naive enough to believe the non-green ZTS sprues could be ok 😋

Looking really good Łukasz! Much positive memories come to mind when seeing such nostalgic builds.

Thanks. Patryk, that explains all the fun and motivation I experience during this build 👍

Thank you mates, I can announce this build finished, enjoy the pics 🙂

Looks great, Łukasz!!
Very nice painting job. The age of the tool goes unnoticed 👍
Congrats!

Well this is real treasure. I remember this kit when I was young. I've bought it in Prague. But the result was far, far worse than yours 👍.
8 August 2022, 09:13

Very glad to see you like it (and the hangar too 😄 ) I did my best to hide the age of the sprues and the really bad canopy parts.

Many thanks my friends, thought you may miss the green/brown camo 😋
