Eduard 1/72 L-39ZA Albatros ProfiPACK

Step into the world of Cold-War and post-Cold-War jet training with the Eduard L-39ZA Albatros 1/72 ProfiPACK kit—a refined build experience for modelers who demand accuracy, detail and value. The L-39ZA is a multirole evolution of the renowned Czech trainer Aero L‑39 Albatros, featuring cannon armament and under-wing hard-points, bridging the gap between pure trainer and light attack roles. 

Eduard’s ProfiPACK edition offers high-quality injection-moulded plastic parts, a full photo-etched fret with pre-painted detail, and a die-cut painting mask for easy canopy and wheel-hub work. The set provides six authentic marking options including Czech Air Force and export customers such as Bulgaria, Romania and Thailand. 

Key Features:

• Scale: 1/72 — perfect for a compact display footprint while still delivering fine detail. 

• ProfiPACK edition by Eduard: plastic parts manufactured in-house, with pre-painted PE parts and mask included. 

• Six marking options covering L-39ZA machines from Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Romania and Thailand — allowing for varied and interesting display builds. 

• Excellent base kit for upgrades: ideal for adding resin or 3D printed cockpit panels, seatbelt sets (such as your own Forge Craft range), photo-etched enhancements or custom weathering to elevate the finished model.

Why this kit stands out:
The L-39 series is one of the most widely used jet trainer/light attack aircraft worldwide, developed in Czechoslovakia and still recognised for its versatility.  The “ZA” variant with weapons capability adds a layer of interest for modellers beyond a straight trainer. With Eduard’s modern tooling and the ProfiPACK enhancements, you get a high-quality build at a reasonable price. For a business like ScaleCraft Studios—especially given your focus on upgrades and aftermarket detailing—this kit is a perfect platform to showcase premium extras and attract modellers who appreciate detail.

Ideal for:

• Modellers into modern (post-1945) jet aircraft, especially trainer/light-attack types.

• Customers looking for a value-rich kit with upgrade potential (resin, 3D-printed parts, photo-etch).

• Hobbyists who want to combine a quality base kit with custom detailing (e.g., your Forge-Craft seatbelt sets, instrument panel enhancements).

Add the Eduard L-39ZA Albatros 1/72 ProfiPACK to your collection and build a sleek, modern Czech jet trainer that stands out in 1/72 scale.
