Work in progress

Wim van der Luijt
Nice subject...count me in! I looked at your other albums in this project, you have very good references!

Holger Kranich
Hey Wim, please slip aside and pass me some popcorn, i wont miss this, too!😢

David Lengyel
Thank you Wim. One of my sources is an actual L-39 pilot and he is very nitpicky when it comes to details 😄

David Lengyel
Some progress after a little break 🙂

Christian Ristits
Cool project David, I like it!

David Lengyel
Thank you Christian, I like it too - so far 😄 There's a lot of work ahead and today I noticed I am not going to use half of the parts out of the box because of aftermarket conversion sets 😄

Stefan Schneider
Watching your project with great interest! Nice work so far!

David Lengyel
Thank you Stefan 🙂

Holger Kranich
And how does it feel to be back in the modeling business?

David Lengyel
It's great to be back, although I have to keep the goals of the project in my mind all the time. I mean, when I saw the conversion sets with the option of the opened avionics bay, I was in awe because of the details. It's really tempting but right there I had to say to myself STOP dude, you're not going to cut everything. Keep it simple. Oh well, sometimes I wish I would not be such detail freak 😄

Holger Kranich
Wear the chains of superdetailing with pride, David!
Its always tempting to have those options but i often stop me, not to overdo it! Well, i know how you feel!😢

David Lengyel
I set up the bar: build it as real as possible, that means when it should be ready to fly, drop the flaps, open the canopy, ladder, add some RBF flags, wheel chocks and FODs. Weapon load true to the real layouts (not the imaginary to the teeth which I did before break). If there's any maintenance door opened, DO NOT equip the bird with weapons, etc. Now tell me how crazy I am 😄

Holger Kranich
Ok, David, i do as you want:

You are a sick AMS modeler!!!😢😢😢

Soeren R.
Look nice so far! Im in 🙂

Markus
Ahh, the joys of AMS...just don't get to the point where your quest for accuracy prevents you from finishing anything (ask me how I know 😄 ).

Looks like a good start. I always liked the shape of the L-39 and I'm sure this will be another masterpiece like your MiG-21.
So I'm leaning back and enjoy the show...

Bart Goesaert
will follow this one also, do have them, with the same aftermarket, so spymodus is on...

David Lengyel
Back in the saddle 🙂

Clifford Keesler
Looking very nice.

Christian Lehmann
I'll stay tuned. Have the same kits in my stash. I am curious romsee if this kit includes some traps or if it works without problems

David Lengyel
Some say it's terrible, some say it's easy peasy to build. So far I can't tell since I am making it hard for myself wih inexperience and stupid decisions to enhance it with resin parts 😄

Christian Lehmann
I also will use the CMK stuff 😄

David Lengyel
Internal bits added for a test fit. I'm glad that I have proxxon otherwise I would lose my hands on it 😄 Also added internal parts of auxiliard intakes and vents and cockpit side panels.

David polak
taky mam tuhle krasavici v planu, jen se porad nemuzu rozhodnout pro camo

David Lengyel
Postav jich víc a nemusíš to řešit 🙂

David polak
nikdy mne nebvilo stavet stejny model dva krat, ale je to kazdopadne zajimava rada 😄

Łukasz Gliński
did I already write I'll follow?😉

Julian Herrero aka Yuri
I'll follow too .... In fact I've just started the week end kit of this bestiful bird ....

David Lengyel
Guys, this project is somewhat on hold, but you're making me think about it again. I shall resume works on it soon 🙂

Ekki
I sincerely hope so. 🙂

Julian Herrero aka Yuri
Me too

Ulf Petersen
OK, David! When you resume your work here I am not gonna miss it!🙂
