Something fresh and different to try! I made for myself a very fictional Blue Impulse (JASDF aerobatic team) to play with. Some creativity was needful, because the "official" paint style that is used on the Kawasaki T-4 doesn't fit well to the form of the L-39, and it was very hard to make it look good, so a special scheme was created to suit the Albatros.

Of course, Blue Impulse can't use L-39, so I gave it a civilian registration, to reflect a Private L-39 painted to look like Blue Impulse.

It looks good? If you want to have this paint, let me know and I will release it!
 
Lazerbeak,
that does look good ... I'd certainly like to have a copy, so please release it,
thanks,
Ro
 
Thanks a lot, Fauville!
This is exactly the reference I've been looking for. It confirms that WLM doesn't wear the authentic Thai camo scheme, but it's quite close to it...
 
Fellow pilots of L-39, Blue Impulse will be released today, along with two more of possible additions to your collection: Air forces of Cuba and Uzbekistan.

I am preparing zip files now. Let's L-39 flying!

On sillier subjects, in all my paints I have replaced the girl with the image of Nakagawa Shoko, popular idol in Japan, as my preferred travel companion. Now this poor girl has been to all kinds of places, Uzbekistan, Cuba, Viet Nam, Russia and more in L-39's! Such adventure! :D
 
I am very glad you all like it. Thank you!

Azerbaijan has been on my short list, and Bulgaria is in works now (both Modern and Communist-era versions). Iraq may come if I can get a good quality picture for the nose logo.

These are very good news Lazerbeak !

Another interesting repaint project could be the 1983-1992 "Soviet Invasion" of Afghanistan
L-39C.

Briefing :

As the security situation in Afghanistan worsened after the Soviet invasion, later L-39's
were delivered in the standard "Russian" camouflage scheme and pressed into service in
a Forward Air Control ( FAC ) to support Soviet SU-25 Frogfoot.

These L-39's were flown and manned by Russian crews but were wearing the "Soviet Style"
roundel of the "Democratic Republic Of Afganistan" a puppet communist gouvernment
installed by the Soviets at Kabul during their invasion.

These L-39's had to be equipped with modified underwing tanks modified to carry flare
dispensers due to the arrival on the theater, of the shoulder launched Us "Stinger" missile
supplied to the Afghan Talibans by the CIA.

Here is a color profile of these "DRoA" L-39C :

Keep up your excellent work

Well, I'm quite sure you'll be able to show us some thrilling formation shots, Charl...


Just fiddled on some details.
1. Vit had a minor bug in the paint kit, making the lines on the antiglare area a little out-centered. It's fixed:

2. The air intake warning chevrons were missing the DANGER lettering. Although not readable (font size is 3 px!), I think it had to be added...:

Upload to Flightsim and SOH finished.
Have fun!

Cheers,
Markus.
 
I highly recommend the RealNZ series mentioned!
Worth every single Dollar/Euro/Shekel or whatever...

First pic of my post #172 shows Wanaka with the simulator's date set to April 15th to make the airshow's installations appear - very nice detail!
 
Super nice Private Kiwi Repaint Wild Bill Kelso !
Super nice Military Iraqi Repaint Steve B !

Thanks to both of you

Took Markus' fine repaint for a spin with some friends at Wanaka...sometimes I think he paints faster than I can set up a Recorder scene!

This is an authentic flyby formation BTW, seen at Wanaka 2004
