Here's the old KP kit of the Aero L-29 Delfin but with a Pavla cockpit and canopy and Linden Hill decals.

Nice job. I have a few of these KP models laying in the stash. Not the best models but often they aren't done by anyone else.

Well done for such an old kit, I think that was the very first KP kit ever,
absolutely no idea what Air Force that is though

However in this case AMK has done the L-29 in 1:72 and 1:48.

The markings are for the Georgian Air Force around the early 1990s - from a Linden Hill set for various ex-Soviet Georgian aircraft.
I'm sure that there must be better Delfin kits around but I've had this one for a long time and wanted to see how it went. The interior was non existent so I had to use a Pavla afermarket set, which had a very nice vacformed canopy as well as resin seats, which really sets the model off.
I'm currently working on the KP L-39 which isn't much better and so I've again gone to Pavla cockpit, which is absolutely necessary under such a big clear canopy.
