- The Aero L-29 Delfín (English: Dolphin, NATO code name: Maya) is a military jet trainer developed and manufactured by Czechoslovakian aviation manufacturer Aero Vodochody. It is the country's first locally designed and constructed jet aircraft, as well as likely being the biggest aircraft industrial program to take place in any of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (COMECON) countries except the Soviet Union.
During the course of the program, in excess of 3,000 L-29 Delfín trainers were produced. Of these, around 2,000 were reported to have been delivered to the Soviet Union, where it was used as the standard trainer for the Soviet Air Force. Of the others, which included both armed and unarmed models, many aircraft were delivered to the various COMECON countries while others were exported to various overseas nations, including Egypt, Syria, Indonesia, Nigeria and Uganda.[2] Reportedly, the L-29 has been used in active combat during several instances, perhaps the most high-profile being the use of Nigerian aircraft during the Nigerian Civil War of the late 1960s and of Egyptian L-29s against Israeli tanks during the brief Yom Kippur War of 1973.
Today's example is from Herpa. It is 1/72nd scale and made of diecast with plastic accessories. The model is of the Soviet Air Force Aero L-29 Dolphin -from the 59th Training Regiment during the 80's

As a child, these planes often flew overhead. In the USSR, they were the main training aircraft. I remember that sound perfectly. Nostalgia.
Oh thats awesome, thank you for sharing that!! Thanks for checking out the video 😁
Aeronave bonita interessante! Gostei dos detalhes! Modelo incrível🌟
Yes its a nice model, and as I say in the video it wont be everyone's type of plane, but that's what the videos are for. Showing things to people that they wont normally buy. Thanks for watching!!
Some care and imagination gone into this model- detail and features are good and better than other aircraft from other makers. Your variety of reviews is refreshing and cheers for that.
I like to try and review all sorts of military aircraft, not just the popular stuff. You know what they say, variety is the spice of life,haha. Plus I get to learn about planes I have never heard of,haha. And hopefully make others aware of models that are available if they want to buy one themselves!! Thanks as always for dropping past!!
@@heavymetaldiecast That is one of the great values of your channel. I always love the learning about the aircraft and the crews- you often find out things that are new to you.
Herpa does a decent job, I have a couple Herpas & I like em. I love me some trainers too, gotta respect them, that's where it all starts. Hoping we get the new Boeing T-7 from HM preferably
Herpa aren't too bad, but I think they borrow molds from other makers a lot. As I notice some of their models I have are exactly the same as say a Witty Wings/ JC Wings release just different livery obviously. Definitely trainers play an important role, you got to learn to crawl before you can fly 😂. Thanks for watching!!!
great I didn't know about it beautiful model
Ah great, the video has done its job. Its why I like to review all sorts of military aircraft, not just the popular ones. Thanks for watching!!
This plane looks similar to some american's trainning planes. I think the main difference are the position of the elevators. I didn't know about this model, thanks for sharing it.
In the L-39 which was the successor to these, they had a more normal tail. Its why I try to do all sorts of reviews to show some of the more unusual and not so popular models out there. Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching!!
Nice one, never noticed this model/aircraft before so just purchased one due to your review. Not sure whether to thank you or swear as am broke at the moment 😁
@@andyb1201 haha well at least the video helped in some way 🤣 You can do both, I have realised since starting the channel and collecting diecast the bank account does suffer a lot, but when that postman arrives with your packages you know the week you spent eating $1 meals was worth it 🤣. I haven't bought a steak since starting the channel 🤣 but I do have a lot of F-4s now 🤣. Thanks for watching and sorry for helping you spend your cash 🤣 Did you get this exact one? Or one of their other liveries?
@@heavymetaldiecast sadly here in Spain there are no $1 dollar meals or euros in our case 😁 It is a substitute for Christmas though getting a package through the post if the courier company dares to navigate the narrow streets as some lie and say you weren't home and never even come as far as the village lol. Same livery, at least I hope it will be. Luckily found a seller in France so no import duty, just worried as seems very cheap and but seller had multiple numbers of same model plus others so fingers crossed. Steak, what's that? Not been able to afford one of those in years 🤣
@@andyb1201 haha yeah I feel your pain, our $1 meal is a packet of 2 minute noodles,haha Hopefully your model arrives safe and sound. Its always good to score a bargain!! You need a win every now and then!! Yeah red meat here is expensive, same as lamb, I mainly by chicken,haha. red meat used to be affordable, I watch all these American BBQ shows and think how the hell do they afford that,haha Well at least I have plenty of diecast to chew on!!
@@heavymetaldiecast I finally received the model off an EU ebay seller, brand new as advertised and only the 2nd Herpa model I've bought as wasn't impressed with the first one some years back as mostly plastic akin to an Altaya model. Glad I saw your review and got this one, small but quite hefty and very nice little model. Thanks again!
Nice model , don't Panzerkampf also produce a diecast Delfin series ?
I'm not sure, I know Herpa do a few different versions. Its also sold under Modelyletadel.cz but they are exactly the same models just different boxes/names I think. Thanks for watching the video!!
