Here is 3 of my Cartel training aircraft, these aircraft  have to serve a dual purpose within the cartel as everything they fly has to be able to carry an offensive/defensive load. This also helps as part of the training of their new pilots, and also to keep the flying hours up of their more experienced pilots.

I have 2 L-39's and an L-29 on the bench also these will be in Part 2, and if I can get hold of one, a Zlin piston engine trainer or 2 for part 3 along with my other 2 seat SU-25.
Cheers,
Chris.

MINE!! :lol:
It is the Kopro kit, and was a pain in the proverbial to build. The canopy fit being the worst part, it needed a lot of putty and shaping to get it to look remotely like it should do. I have a Maquette SU-25 UB also, which looks exactly the same kit. All but the aam's were junked from the kit as they were an absolute joke.
Cheers,
Chris.

Ah right - the K8 is so "generic" I couldn't place it - cheers.

Nice bunch, Chris - the wear on the Frogfoot is great, but I think my favourite is the Mig - the camo is almost German. :)
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<
