In the future, I would use the Tamiya rattle can silver, but seal it with a acrylic clear like a Gunze perhaps. I thought about adding the aerobatic sights on the wingtips, but decided against this as this model is not competition worthy. The sights would just bust off over time with handling, so that will do me. These sights are removable on the real machine anyway - only used for aerobatic competition and practice. I added some detail to the cockpit and split the tail/elevator to show how the appear most of the time on the ground.
From what I've read, very few of these Zlins were fitted with the Avia engine before production went over to using the more powerful Lycoming 540 engine. I wanted to built the "M" version as the long engine gives the Zlin-50 a very Eastern European look. They are supposed to be great machines to fly.
