L-29 Delfin, Uganda Air Force
Few pics about the progress made so far.
I found one small inaccuracy: those small supporting rods should reach the rear bulkhead. They will be cut off and replaced from stretched sprue later.

Should be something like this.
Interior bits painted.
As well as the cockpit tub...
...and side walls.
The hatch of the radio compartment doesn't fit properly in the closed position, but it can be easily fixed with some sanding.

JocajHi Pierre,
Well, I've made some progress with it, but I don't have much time to work on the models recently.
Wing halves were glued together, and panel lines were rescribed on the fuselage after the joints were smoothened.

JocajPierre,
So far I'm satisfied with the kit. The fit is good, which is a good point for me (most of my builds stall at the filling-sanding cycle), details are good for an OOB build IMHO.
One thing I realised so far is that the radio compartment hatch needed a bit of trimming and care for the closed position. The other is the support rods (?) behind the first seat. Oh, and I did not add the seats before closing the fuselage halves (to ease masking-painting later), which was not a good idea since the seats are wider than the cockpit opening...

Album info
The build started in 2021 but after a few months put on hold. Now I got the box out of shelf doom and hopefully, I will be able to finish it now.
