[OSTOJA]

Hi,

Mariusz "repainted" from american cmuflage to civilian color of aeroclub Mielec.



Fuselage:

That looks like a very nice repaint, and a fine build.

When you're done, it would be great to see a comparison with a photo of the original, full-size Mielec Cub.

Thanks, Ostoja

I have a version of this kit, which is by a Russian, and it is in vector format (Illustrator instead of Photoshop, if you see what I mean).

Do you happen to know if and where I could get into contact with the author?

Here is a screenshot of the kit, cover page and page 1:



Thanks for the help,

Leif

Leif, I have a picture of Mielec Piper and aircraft paint scheme. These data are the most current.

Very nice progress, especially the blending and paint touch-up of the engine front cowling.

Incidentally, from another member here ("bf109karl") I learned that the vector re-drawn model of the Piper L4-A published as a Russian "R.S.A. Model", in fact was made by Sergey Romensky. Here's what "bf109karl" writes:

The name of the author vector repainting Piper L-4A "Grasshopper" - Sergey Romensky. I will try to contact him. However, the work was done in the year 2010 - maybe the author changed the place of residence

Just to set the record straight.

Wouldn't be easier to make the greenhouse and the wings before wheels are attached?
