Here are two more of my Cartel trainer aircraft, I was going to put 3 up but I have been having problems with one of the builds so it has been on hold for now. One is the Eduard L-39 ZA, and the other is a very old Kopro/KP L-29 which had no instructions. Its a good job it was a very basic kit thats all I can say :rolleyes: I have converted this into a ZA  spec aircraft by putting a 2 barrel gun on the front lower fuselage, and giving it an extra pair of hard points so as to carry weaponry.








Cheers,
Chris.

Nice! Love the paint chipping. I'm doing a Bilek L-29 at the moment for the Africa GB, and it's pretty poor as well. It's weird - it's got lovely fine engraved panel lining, but no locating pins, loads of ejector marks, and no detail in the cockpit or wheel wells. Plus the fit is AWFUL.
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

This L-29 was full of ejector marks, no locating pins nasty gaps in the wing joins and the cockpit well, lets just say very little that resembled one was in the kit. I ended up making a new floor instrument panel, bulkhead and putting in a couple of bang seats from the spares box. The canopy doesn't fit too great either.
