Blanik and Krtek
1
January 13, 2021"Straight out of the box"... The kit requires some scratch building like the instrument panel and pedals. I also added more styrene on the window frame for making sure the clear part fits.2
January 13, 2021Almost ready cockpit. The elevators are tilted like they are in the ground.3
January 13, 2021Cockpit in place and the fuselage joints are being smoothed.4
January 13, 2021Still smoothing. The masked canopy is added.5
January 13, 2021Wings are glued with basic thin cement. The primer is Mr.Surfacer 1000 that is sanded smooth.6

January 16, 2021I only had Vallejo Metal Color Dull Aluminium in my storage so it will be the main color. I'm trying to make it more shiny.9
January 24, 2021The metallic paint by Vallejo has been very problematic, so I stopped to querrel with it and continued to paint red stripes and started to put on decals. The yellow arrow is from my leftover box.10
January 29, 2021Decals are in place. Here is the Krtek (Mole) with a bottle of rum. Ylona Staller (or Ilona Staller) is also known as Cicciolina. I don't know, why her name is written here.11
January 29, 2021Now started the making of the Mole. Here is printed about a 9mm high picture of this famous character. I planned to use that tin wire as a skeleton, but it didn't work.12
January 29, 2021First time I sculpt something, but this mole is just too damn small. I gave up to make it whole at once and instead made hands separated and the body is just balls like a snowman. The material is Green Stuff World Super Sculpey Medium Blend that was nice to handle. It had to be baked in an oven in 130C.13
January 29, 2021The last part, the landing gear, in its place.14
January 29, 2021The Mole is getting a hairstyle.15
January 29, 2021A lot of Surfacer 500 to make it a more mole-like.16
January 31, 2021Blanik must wait a couple of days before I add satin varnish. It doesn't have much of weathering except the landing wheel. The Mole is pretty successful.17
February 12, 2021Blanik has its satin varnish coat and the canopy masks are removed. It is waiting for grass mat to be arrived. It has quite a span compared to Agro Turbo.18
February 12, 2021little back window is filled with Micro Kristal Klear.19
