One thing is boring me, it's the circled antenna... Too thick. I will probably try to correct that...

Here is an article from the February 1978 Scale Modeler magazine I have had all these years, describing the "new" KP 1/72 Avia. So much has changed from 1978 to the present day!!!!!

Interresting article Scott, really: "120.T" is the aircraft I'm building!

I have airbrushed primer and than a mix of 4 parts of RLM02 + 1 part of white. Unfortunately artificial light gives not justice to the paint...
And as you can see, I've replaced the rounded antenna by  copper wire: looks from far better!

Decals setting was made in two phases: first the wings, then MicroSol and let dry; then the fuselage, MicroSol and let dry again

FINISHED!!!

I've used Citadel Shade "Nuln Oil" in place to make an oil wash. I'm fully satisfied with the shade  :-love
Easy to use; you just take a fine paintbrush (I used a 3/0 one) and you fill the interpanels lines; using a humid Q-tip to erase when you make mistake (Q-tip to use immediately, shade is drying fast)
Then I used Tamiya "Green" pastel
Finally I glued the little parts and removed the Eduard masks

...And that's it!

Kovozavody Prostejov produced an excellent kit that ask just for a little of work to become a jewel...
For the photos, I placed the kit on a base from Frédéric Mertès.
