Zlin Z-37T Still could be a fun build, quite good quality mouldings. There are few of these things in NZ (any flying still?) that a model could be based on  Z-37T by Harry Follas, on Flickr |

Some progress on the Zlin (LET) Z-37T, not a bad little build, lots of cockpit and hopper detail. Searching for a Livery for this beast, not too many photos of them in service in NZ, seems CAA only gave them 3000 hrs apiece. I'll probably do ZK-WLO of Willow Air  Untitled by Harry Follas, on Flickr  Untitled by Harry Follas, on Flickr  Untitled by Harry Follas, on Flickr  Untitled by Harry Follas, on Flickr |

Looks like you could use that as a pepper shaker.  Nice job on an ugly aircraft. |

Nah, I think it's cute. Its parents must have been ugly though!

Liking that Harry, keen to get one of these myself, more so after reading your impressions of the kit, I reckon they're ugly enough to be cute. I believe the Walter turbines have gone on to repower some Fletchers around the country.

Great looking machine. Reminds me of one of my favourite aircraft, the Auster B8 Agricola

yep the original was..."Functionally ugly" I'd quite like a kit of that too, the Z-37 really did look like the Agricola, imagine that with a Lycoming strapped onto the front, not a huge difference in size either iirc. Steve. |

I finally got this beasty painted as WLO! It took quite a bit of sleuthing through small/low resolution images to work out the livery...there 'aint too many photos of these Z-37Ts in service in NZ  Untitled by Harry Follas, on Flickr  Untitled by Harry Follas, on Flickr |

Nice one Harry, much cleaner representation than when I last saw it in the flesh!

That’s the problem with models, they either come out looking brand new or completely over the top if you try to ‘weather them’. Perhaps it would look better with bits of foliage hanging off the gear. 😂😂
