Cockpits are looking very good indeed Tony, nice work.

Bit more done on this one today but no pics till tomorrow . Ive got the fuselage together and the wings on plus the canopies. There are a lot of places that require substantial filler including all round the not very clear canopy. Another place thats going to need some work is the intake ducts , these are made from two parts each side that plant onto the underside of the wing and also form the undercarriage bays , but the fit is very approximate ! Hopefully I can get some pics tomorrow , cheers tony

Good to know someone else is taking their time with the under a tenner build. I stalled, work and commitments got in the way again. Look forward to seeing the PZL progress Tony

As promised here are a few poorly taken pics of the Iskra s latest progress. You can see the filler being applied round the canopy ( it really was a poor fit), and the bottom part of the front intake which i had to block off to prevent being able to see right through to the undercarriage bays! Once ive sanded the intakes then i can get the elevators on and the airframe will be more or less ready for primer, cheers tony

This reminds me of a L-29 or an Aermacchi trainer. Nice work Tony, you've tamed that canopy and nice save with the intakes

Thanks Joe , its turned out to be a longer job than I anticipated , i thought it was going to be a quickie like the PZL p7a !! how wrong I was!! cheers tony

Well its been primered and today ive got the first colour on , (tamiya xf 12 ) , hopefully tomorrow i can get the next grey on and the final one the day after ,then its just undercarriage ,decals and stores . Sounds quick and easy but itll probably take me another three weeks! , cheers tony

Great work Tony it may be slow work but with all the detail you've added it's well worth it. Keep up the good work and pictures coming
