Aero L-39V Albatros, East German Airforce, Number 170, Serial Number 630705 at Luftwaffenmuseum der Bundeswehr Berlin-Gatow. This L-39 was in operation with towed target Letov KT-04.
I had originally presumed that this was an aerobatic display paint scheme and that is why I made it glossy and un-weathered. Research has shown that this paint scheme was applied for target towing. The aircraft served with the ZDK-33 (Zieldarstellungskette 33) swarm at Peenemünde Air Base from May 1980. After the takeover by the Bundesluftwaffe in 1990, the aircraft received the tactical designation 28+48. They towed an aerial target the Letov KT-04. I could find no period photos of the in-service aircraft but the earliest photos of the aircraft at Berlin-Gatow (already subjected to weathering / oxidizing of the paint due to outdoor display) seem to suggest an original gloss finish.
