Something simple

This is a perfect testament to the fact that one does not need too many parts in the model kit to have fun assembling it - all the parts are on this photo...and yes, I am lazy, I use pre-cut masks 😉

A bit of puttying and sanding was obligatory, but there are only 11 (eleven!) parts in this kit! 😉

Decals applied. They are not really adequate but close enough... A word of warning - some fragments of cheatlines simply refused to leave the backing paper 🙁

Finished! Not the best circumstances to take photos, actually...

Happy little Zlin 🙂 Looking forward to seeing the final colour scheme and decals.

I am glad you like it, Mates 😉
@Bruce - of course the colour scheme I have chosen is the one present at the box top (for many obvious reasons I dislike the one mimicking German WW II camo...)

As smart as a new coat of paint !

That's a little tempting kit, innit? 😉

Absolutely, Łukasz 🙂 I only wish that there were more aftermarket decals sets for these Zlins from HobbyBoss...

That is an absolute cutey. Lovely little build! But are the wings and fuselage made out of clear plastic? It looks like that in the first photo.

@Thomas - yes, these are made of transparent polistyrene for no obvious reason. Take a look here, if you wish 😉 :

In fact this makes determining whether all is closed properly a bit difficult - especially in the engine shroud area where a LOT of weight must be inserted. Canopy, nevertheless, is perfectly clear and thin.

Why were the wings cast in clear plastic? Did it serve a purpose?

Actually, the only (my speculation) reason for that could be that there is the landing light in the port wing that would be quite easy to mask off...which I have forgotten to do, of course... 🙁

Thank you, Bruce. Now the most difficult part of this build - painting the wheels 😉

And doing something nice with her prop too 😉

Prop is simple, Bruce - almost done, waiting only for decals... Wheels are moulded together with legs and - in case of the front undercarriage unit - with mudguard also.
