Hi to you all !
After a more than a year of abstence of modelling due some personal issues, going thru hell I now try to come back. And I try to make it big.....
There was an concept of an jet propelled agrocultural aircraft to be build, and it actually happened the Polish made the PZL M?15 Belphegor, however, for experemintal pourposes they converted one AN-2 in Latające laboratorium ( the Lala name come from this ) for tryout, it have both propeller and jet engine as well.
I will try to make it in 1/48 scale using an Bilek AN-2 for base and the rest will be scratchbuild, wish me luck chaps !

Weird looking machine and I am wonder what they achieve with such construction!! Good luck and welcome back!!
modellius:
Yes it is, and the did fly it from 10th February 1972. after the testing ended they scrach it and the only piece ever build did not survive, then they went to the Belphegor project using the data from Lala 1 .... And thank you mate for your support, means a lot !

When I started this project I knew this will be hard, and so it is.... At first leg I cut the fuselage to make it accurate, after I made the jet exhaust place as a guide line for the rest, it turns out the rear end of the fuselage is more sculpting than modeling... First I made the base shape from Evergreen styreen and then come the putty, a lot of it...... While I'm make the layers of putty and sanding I'm trying to figure out how to make the rear '' bar '' section, but first in the in the meantime I will start the jet engine intake

Huge work with filler and you make it!!!
