Hi all,
I am quite new here, so would like to introduce you to one of my "Works In Progress", a Trumpeter Yakovlev Yak-18 Max.
I usually build the usual Spitfires of Bf-109's though felt I wasn't really getting anywhere with them & this kit as a bit of fun!
If you don't already know, this is a post WW2 Soviet trainer which was built in the 1,000's & used by most Warsaw Pact countries as well as China & even North Korea.
The kit itself is gorgeous with just enough parts & complexity to keep you interested & the fit & detail of parts Tamiya would be proud of.
Full cockpit and engine detail is included & 3 decal options- Soviet, China & North Korea.
I've enclosed some pics of where I am atm as if you search for the kit you'll find plenty of in box pics.
The only issue I have with the aircraft is the looks...... if you squint hard at it & don't look at the engine cowl it can look a little like a Yak-3!
Look at the cowl & it really doesn't! It's just so damn UGLY!!!!
I hope you like the pics & look forward to any comments
Peter
