**MBig** · #1 10-19-2010, 12:13 PM

Hello.
My name is Piotr. I am Polish, but I live in Aberdeen in UK. I build paper models from 33 years and design mmodels from 10 years.
A few days ago I started with new design. Its a plane. She has flown over me, when I was young. It is czech turistic plane ZLIN 42M, SP-ADB.

Design established:
1. Model has to be easy and impressive.
2. Model can be for beginners and for experienced.
3. Max 250 parts (very difficult for me :-) ).
Lets start.
Cocpit and cocpit's superstructure. I have tried design it solid because wings and main gear will be fitted to this.

Dash. First photo - easy version, two next detailed dash.

Cabin.

You see my mistake on the last photo. It will be ok in final version.
Full view on fuselage.

Tail.

Hello again.
I want to show next photos from building my model.
That part was a little bit to short. I have design new one and now it is ok.

Next photos show stages from building right wing.

Hello.

I'd like to show next photos from building my ZLIN.

I have finished back of fuselage and glued same parts to front panels.

Wings. That black line between wing and fuselage is rubber seal on oryginal plane.

And same view on model.

This is a detailed version of the Maly Modelarz kit?

How are you planning to make the canopy / windscreen?

Great build.
