Wow, this is really fantastic modelling,  the details on the wings and wingfolds is amazing.   The undercarriage looks exquisite with the lovely details on the legs, wheels and bays. Tremendous work, this is a great model.

Looks nice, but I wonder if you could please explain what do you mean by "fixed BANO" and "keel lantern"?

Thanks.

MarkoZG, thanks for the tip!
Apparently Google translates incorrectly ?! I wrote that I put new correct navigation lights on the wings and keel.

Hi,

 

excellent model, looking great.

I love this kit: it is superbly engineered, easy to build as well as precise and very cheap.

Not a kit for children only.

Only thing letting it slightly down are the decals that could be better. Your painting is really good.

Congrats.

Amazing result for such an ancient kit. I would say this is the best ex-Frog/ex-Novo Wessex I’ve ever seen. 
And when you say it’s your first model you could even be more proud of it.

troschi, thank you very much for your feedback!

Hello everybody!
Collected with minor modifications a children's set from the manufacturer "Zvezda".
A little about the modifications of the model:
- slightly modified cockpit (belts, sight, wiring, dashboard)
- thinned the blades
- machine guns (needles)
- modified the rear chassis niche
- antenna (spandex)
- PITO tube
- fixed BANO
- tubes to the front landing gear
- balancers for ailerons
- keel lantern
The car belonged to (Stab I_JG54 "Grünherz", pilot Hptm. Hans Philipp, Krasnogvardeysk, March 1942)
Painting and varnishing with brushes. Paint: GSI mr.Color urethane acrylic, Tamiya and PC88 acrylics, Tamiya varnish + plain pencil.
Happy viewing.

Hello colleagues!
A little update on the construction site:
- finished pre-paint detailing of the fuselage (actually started painting)
- made the front chassis
- made the rear chassis (struts and flaps in the process)
- put on "legs" (balancing is excellent!)

Дело в том, что нынешняя "шахматная доска" похожа на вашего яка - белый цвет - это верхнее левое поле и нижнее правое поле. Но с декабря 1918 года по февраль 1993 года все было наоборот - левый верхний и правый нижний квадраты были красными. И в польской авиации до 1939 года, в польских эскадрильях Королевских ВВС, в польских полках на Восточном фронте и в авиации Польской Народной Республики после 1945 года.

The tip is that the current Polish insignia looks like your Yak - white is the top left field and the bottom right field. But from December 1918 to February 1993, the opposite was true - the top left and bottom right squares were red. Both in the Polish aviation until 1939, in the Polish squadrons of the RAF, in the Polish regiments on the Eastern Front and in the aviation of the Polish People's Republic after 1945.

Cheers

Michael

KRK4m, thank you so much for the hint! Now I will know how to do it right, because in the plans for the future, there are also cars with Polish identification marks ...

Outstanding work! You’re making this ancient lump of plastic as good as a modern Hasegawa kit! I especially like all the little bumps you’ve added, and most of all you’ve got rid of raised panel lines. Brilliant.

Extremely sharp and tidy build.

However there is one doubt - do you have a photo of this very aircraft?

Were the chessboard insignia turned 90 degrees from the regulation ones for sure?

Cheers

KRK4m, thanks for the tip!

You definitely noticed this, I did not find photos of this side, only a side drawing. In theory, this code should have been, the decal was drawn from something ..! Shakhovitsa may have displayed incorrectly ...

I would like to view your early models to see how you progressed so fast. I thought you had been practicing for decades.

 

I read recently on one of the announcement threads from the moderators, that it's ok to show swastikas and slogans on models if historically accurate.

It is not ok to use them in signature blocks or banners. So your models should be fine. 

 

IF I'M WRONG ABOUT THAT GUYS, PLEASE CORRECT ME SOONEST. I'M A NEW GUY TOO!

This path has not been fast, and I am not naturally talented. For several years I have been buying ready-made cheap models of cars and tractors on a scale of 1:43. I looked through forums a lot, read, watched videos. I bought paints, brushes and other accessories and practiced. At that time, I did not have an understanding in which technical direction they were moving to me. Then (in 2017) I purchased an ARKmodels helicopter set (ex-FROG / NOVO). And with this set he began to seriously engage in aircraft modeling.

No, there is no limit to the models you can display. And please do not stop.

 

You have only been modelling for four years and your models are so good. (You know that by our reactions. ) I look forward to seeing what you will do in the years to come. 

 

I also look forward to seeing the remainder of the 40. (My goodness, you make them in a month! )

 

Keep up the good work!

 

 

Your photography is good too!

Bertie Psmith, It's not worth showing everything, but I can demonstrate some of the first educational attempts at modeling. Also, there are models with a swastika and a Soviet plane with a slogan for enemies (I think they shouldn't be shown on this forum either, so as not to cause a negative reaction?!)
