With the release of the new JTM L-39 full composite EDF Jet for 90mm Fans imminent, the guys from Jet Teng Models have released a few more pictures and 2 new videos of the L-39 Prototype in Breitling Colors.
The 2 pictures show close ups of the L-39 cockpit area. The factory pilot fabricated a simple custom cockpit for the plane. This cockpit will NOT be included in the production models as of now. But we are confident that a cockpit kit for the L-39 will be released in the near future once the demand for such an accessory becomes apparent to JTM.
Stay tuned for more updates. In the meantime enjoy the videos of the brake tests and the custom installed lighting kit

Some info on the full size plane:
The Aero L-39 Albatros is a high-performance jet trainer aircraft developed in Czechoslovakia to meet requirements for a “C-39″ (C for cvičný – trainer) during the 1960s to replace the L-29 Delfín. It was the first of the second-generation jet trainers, and the first turbofan-powered trainer produced, and was later updated as the L-59 Super Albatros and as the L-139 (prototype L-39 with engine Garrett TFE731). The design is still produced in an evolved state as the L-159 ALCA, while more than 2,800 L-39s still serve with over 30 air forces around the world. The Albatros – the most widely used jet trainer in the world – is versatile, seeing duty in light-attack missions as well as in basic and advanced pilot training.
