How about some pictures of your progress? 🙂

Aaron Liles
Hi David. Problems with my laptop so not been able to upload photos. The camera on my ipad is useless so better no photos than blurry ones 🙂 hopefully in the next few days I'll have so progress shots of this, the EC-145 and the BO-105. Thanks 🙂

David Lengyel
Cool, I'm looking forward to it😉

Primer and alclad aluminium on 🙂 first time using alclad in anger. After reading up on the stuff I can understand why surface prep is so important. I'm pleased with the finish as a first time but there are some faults. I thought I had managed to smooth the join on the nose quite well but after the alclad was on the seam is visible. This area will receive a coat of white and luminous orange so hopefully that should hide it. Thanks for looking 🙂

Aaron Liles
Finished 🙂

Wow, you really nailed it! Awesome build mate. I like this marking, wanted to do the same but later chickened out because of the curve on the nose. I am one step from the sealing the fuselage. Spent some time completing the cockpit and getting the proper balast. I'll post some pictures soon.

Aaron Liles
Thanks David. Can't wait to see some pics. Did you say somewhere that you where using an aftermarket kit for the cockpit or just out of box with some 'home' additions?

David Lengyel
Nope, this one is my comeback kit, which my friend gave me and made me to build it OOB since I stuck with my former comeback L-39 Albatros filled with resin and PE parts. I am thinking about adding the antennas on the top of the nacelles though. Yes, I can't help myself 😄
