Dear Fellows:
This is my
first article in ARC, thank you Steve for your kind support.
Since I can
remember I’m a fan of Ex-soviet a/c and a polish indigenous subject is the
perfect choice for an exotic and beautiful scheme.

I
started with 1/48-scale resin model of a Polish TS-11 Iskra Prototype No.4, made
by Choroszy Models. This kit has all of the resin parts sealed in bags.
Includes 2 vacuform canopies and sheet of decals. The assembly instructions are
very basic and a previously meticulous study is required.
Construction
is straight and it was very fun to build it, by other hand the original
prototype version was discarded when a find a gorgeous photo of a/c nu 2001, and
then the real challenge began.
I understand
that this scheme was for a very particular date or event, no further information
was available (at least to me).
The nose art
was reproduced directly with an airbrush. Gunze Sangyo and Tamiya acrylics were
used. The model was on my bench for a few months until I made a very, very short
run of decals (silk screen) in order to complete this beautiful scheme.
I’m very
please with the final result and I hope to build very soon another
“ex-soviet-block” subject, maybe an African L-29 Delfin !!
