« Last post by ondra on Today at 01:58:05 AM »Beautiful job, Przemo, despite all the disasters. Congratulations on the brilliant result!
Dutch, czech is my native language, so here an explanation on the name - kuňkat (verb) stands "croak" (the sound frogs make) and the aircrat was given the name Kuňkadlo due to the sound of its engine, which resemble frog croaking.
A beautiful little aeroplane, it's going to look great alongside your RWDs... being fascinated with language, I typed "Kuňkadlo" into my translator app, and it came back with "Whooper"; a somewhat puzzling word. But I did a search, and found that it is, in fact, the name of a bird, Cygnus cygnus, the Whooper, or Common Swan. The things you can learn on the Internet...

After you laid the tape down, what did you over spray with?

Thanks.
I do the shading with clear with added droplet of black paint, a custom version of very much thinned smoke. This allows me to control the intensity, a couple of airbrush mist passes is necessary.

The could make for a fun diorama accessory - a two-sided test tractor with wire wheels that can accommodate both stationary and rotary motors. Can't quite tell if that's a Renault or an RAF1 engine. Can anyone confirm?
