Midnight Storm Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 (edited) I didn't find a spot for the L-39 and since there is one or two at almost every airport it is time to give them a spot! Post your L-39C, ZA or any other type of Albatros here! Patriots at Pittsburg, Ca. Edited September 9, 2008 by Midnight Storm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ross blackford Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 :D Hi to everyone, Great pics of one of my favourite modern jets. Thank you for sharing them. Motty, whose Albatros is that one? I'm guessing it might be the one based in the Hunter Valley. Would I be guessing right? , Ross. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dahut Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Did anyone ever put out a mainstream L-39 in 1/48? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnthonyWan Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Did anyone ever put out a mainstream L-39 in 1/48? Yes, try MPM/Special Hobby. They have a 1/48 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Midnight Storm Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) Yes, try MPM/Special Hobby. They have a 1/48 I've heard good and bad things about the kit. Good side, it looks fantasic and has zero mold marks. Bad side, the fit of the over all kit is poor. I just odered 4 kits and all the resin you can eat up. So I'll let you know how they go together soon. Here is a kit one of our members put together a while back. Looks great to me. L-39 There is also a resin 1/32nd scale kit on the market too.

dahut Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Okay thanks. Ive seen the L-39 from MPM. Pretty typical E. Euro limited run stuff, which is to say, these days, not bad. Your saying it has gone to Special Hobby? That could mean a wider distribution. Ill check it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Special Hobby is just the guys who always have the CMK and MPM lines in stock at shows like NATs...this year in Virginia Beach, they had a pile of the L-39 kits :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moose135 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 This Albatross has been based at the American Airpower Museum at Republic Airport for several years. This one just arrived at the AAM in May, looking fresh off the Czech flight line, including gun pod: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pete "Pig" Fleischmann Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I really need to buy one of these. Anyone got a spare $500K? Pig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Midnight Storm Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 I really need to buy one of these. Anyone got a spare $500K?Pig There is one at my local airport for sale. Asking price is $180K Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete "Pig" Fleischmann Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 There is one at my local airport for sale. Asking price is $180K Actually, they are coming down in price. Used to be 500k, but I've seen them anywhere from 100K (ie, come to Romania and get it) to a basic VFR jet with no paint for 180k, to nice IFR jets around 300-ish. The L-159 will still set you back alot..I've seen L-29's for around 60k Regards, Pig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike J. Idacavage Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 The L-39 Albatros is one of my favorites. Here's a photo of one in a more unusual scheme. I shot this back in 2003 at Edwards AFB. The test pilots school was evaluating the L-39 as an addition to their aircraft pool. I don't think they ended up using the Albatros. Enjoy! Mike BTW, Vince Maddux had released this scheme as a decal in 1/72 and 1/48 way back when his company existed......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
