L-59 Albatros from modeller`s view
KIT REVIEW
No model kit of L-59 in any scale is avileable now.
I think, conversion from L-39 C Albatros kit made by KP KOPRO in 1/72 scale is possible. But it would be a hard work. A+V MODEL catalogue from 1997 contents a conversion kit "L-39 MS / L-59 with seats" in 1/72 scale. I have no further details about this resins, but I think, possibility of conversion L-39 to L-59 is real. The problem is less quality (for today standards) of original L-39C kit.
