Historical overview of the L-39C Albatros aircraft

The L-39C Albatros is a Czechoslovak jet trainer aircraft designed by Aero Vodochody. Since its first flight in 1968, it became one of the most popular training aircraft in the air forces of Warsaw Pact countries, used for pilot training, exercises, and light combat duties. The aircraft featured in the arsenal of dozens of countries around the world and is still used today by many air forces and private owners. It has taken part, among others, in local conflicts and international exercises.

Characteristics of the Eduard EX579 set

The Eduard EX579 masks have been specially designed for the Trumpeter 1/48 scale L-39C model. Thanks to them, the modeller can easily and very precisely achieve perfectly painted canopy frames – both on the outside and inside (TFace technology), as well as mask the wheel tires. The use of top-quality masking materials makes it easy to apply and remove the masks without leaving marks on the model and protects even the finest details during painting.

Recommendation and difficulty level

The Eduard EX579 masks set is intended for both intermediate and advanced modellers (difficulty 2/5). We especially recommend it to enthusiasts who expect maximum precision in aircraft model construction and value fast, neat painting of canopy transparencies and wheels. The masks are perfect for creating realistic dioramas and contest replicas of L-39C Albatros aircraft models.
