Thank you all!
@Denis that sounds like a real challenge 😉
@Łukasz I tried to replicate the Czech livery, as seen on the boxart!

Don't you think the Cuban version is more interesting?

Denis, this kit was a gift from a subscriber from the Czech Republic who also flew the Zlin within the Czech Air Force. I agree that the other schemes are also interesting though!

Well, I want to say that the Hobby Boss is better at assembly, but the result is not much worse..

The red on the Czech insignia is always on the side towards the fuselage, not away from the fuselage. You can see it on the back of the kit box!

Thank you Zbynek, you're totally right 🫤 I don't think I can fix that now...

While it has its shortcomings, I find it inspiring 👍

Thank you Lukas. It's an ok kit but I should have paid more attention considering the wing decals and placement of the instrument panel :/

Klasse Ergebnins 👍, leider hab ich den Bau verpasst. In meiner Schulzeit hab ich den Bausatz auch schon mal gebaut, damals noch von Aeroteam und mit Pinselbemalung.

Album info

This is my first kit from this manufacturer, and just as fellow modellers had warned me, it was quite tricky. However, I believe this is what modelling is all about: improvising, improving kit parts, and making the most of the tools you have.
