Valkyrie Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I want to do a NMF properly but never be able to replicate your work on the Yak. If I made that I wouldn't make another model again I'd just sit and look at it. Yeah I got such a shock having only done 1/72 WWII stuff then got the MiG25 it is massive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 That looks great Glynn, simply fantastic. The red stars and bort numbers really stand out a treat on the natural metal finish. This is definitely one of my favourite builds and has definitely made me want one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With figures of one or two pilots and ladder the illusion could be total. I REALLY LIKE THIS 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I REALLY LIKE THIS Thanks , nice story ipms, to be honest i was trying to practice the moody atmosphere of that black and white photo of the 03 yak from earlier in the thread,,but the sun was shining through the window and ruined my meagre photographic skills, I've just scratch built a ladder to look like the one in the photo,i was going to buy one ,but i like this one now And with the headless and armless pilot on the ladder, Thanks ,,glynn 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirageiv Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Very impressive Glynn, it looks flawless. I look forward to it all coming together. David edit, just saw the ladder, if you can make that who needs aftermarket?! Super job. Edited March 26, 2017 by mirageiv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Thanks david,although i can assure you that it isn't flawless the list of things to fix and repaint is about as long as your arm,also you've only seen its photogenic side cheers, Glynn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Wow. That looks brilliant. Well done on the natural metal finish - awesome job, particularly considering its your first. (Going to have to sand mine back and go over it again. Have definitively proved that airbrushing doesn't go so well after a couple of glasses of wine.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks zebra,sometimes i do better work after a couple of glasses of merlot, i'd make a complete pigs ear of the model after whisky, though i do partake in the odd glass of jura single maltsometimes the modelling can wait till we've enjoyed a tipple, Thanks again Glynn 45 minutes ago, IPMS19 said: Hi zebra - Give up the wine....... try whisky....!!!...
