Dobrý den

Please excuse me to post here in english (or even french as it's my mother language :D) but my czech is simply inexistant, and as I have a lot of interest for the Czech Air Force I would like to share these pictures with you.

I like the aircrafts with Czech colors as there is a very interesting mix between russian and ocidental designs for post war aircrafts. I like to the czech pre war subject (I working during my lost time on an Avia BH-3)

References for aircrafts used by your air force are hard to find :cry: at least here in Switzerland but thanks to internet and MBI, I found the subject of interest I try to modelize here.

Inside first

I'm not happy with the shape of the spinner (it's not glued yet). I found an old Hobbycraft one an actually I modify it to use it on this model.


Thanks for reading ... see you later


Greatings from Switzerland

Salut Dric, bienvenue!
It's nice to see you are interested in Czech Air Force aircraft.
The kit really looks very good, so good luck in the finnish!

Very nice and clear work, nice surface. Can I have some questions? What of colours did you use? How it is look like with colours GSI-C from Gunze? In our republic ( all EU) threatens prohibition of sale.

Salut Dric,

It's nice to see your interest in Czech aircarft, so don't worry about writing in English, we are pleased anyway.
(Untill you write in Japanese, it's OK :grin: )
The kit is very well done. The trick with the foil is interesting, I was just a i bit surprised you put it on otherwise finished camouflage. Perhaps the scratches might have a bit different shape, these look a bit artificial.
Thank you for sharing the pictures and if you will need any assistance with references for any Czech aircraft, just don't hesitate and post your request somewhere here. Just please keep in mind, that even for us it's not always easy to find it...

And as I was looking for someone from Switzerland just a short time ago (and didn't get any response) and you appeared here just now...I sent you a message :-D

I used here White Enseign colors (it's an enamel paint). They did a set of paint with the VVS colors. It's (at least in my opinion :D) a good paint (better and easy to use than Humbrol)
I use equally Tamiya acrylics for smoke, red white and blue.
Gunze is hard to find in Switzerland too [-(

Hehe, I have a lot of problems with the aluminium sheet... I did the work more than one time :roll: .
In fact after the paint I was not satisfied with the result so I did it again, it's forthis reason it will be done at this stage of the building.

Thank you equally to all for your proposal of help about Czech aircraft. I hope I could be equally helping for us if you have request about Swiss Air Force.

(I send you back a message about the conversion, hope you get it. I'm not sure about the real functionality off the button on which I press :grin: :grin: )

Cheers

Cedric
