Arniec Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Hi guys, I will be building the Eduard 1/48 Yak 3. It is one of the weekend editions. here is a site where you can see the kit http://www.scalemates.com/kits/106060-eduard-8456-yak-3.I will replace the cockpit with a resin version from vector. I also have a set of resin wheels, saved from a old La-5 build. I believe they were from True details.I will start the build later. Pictures will follow later.Cheers Edited August 5, 2016 by Arniec 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 And here are the pictures of the box content and some work done on the model this morning. The box content: The klearparts, etc and some extra parts including a Neomega cockpit set. The version that is in the box will be build. After sawing out the Original cockpit I placed the resin tub from the neomega cockpit set. I also glued the wings together and made two inlet plates for both inlets in the wings. I also removed all the detail in the sides of the fuselage after witch I placed the resin parts. And the last thing done this morning was the gunports opened and glued some copper tubing inside. That is it for now. Cheers, 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPReggie Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Nice, now I wish I had stuck something like that in the nose of my P39 Too late now though - but I will remember for next time. I did think it was odd that no gins were supplied for the nose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 Hi guys, All the parts are now ready for some paint. I hope to do that tomorrow. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Here are two pictures after this mornings painting sesion. I also gave it a black wash. I used for the paintjob RLM 02 from Tamiya. I know it may not be the total correct colour, but that was the only one I had in my paint range. I will try to do this weekend some dry brushing to bring out the details and also some detail painting. Cheers, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 Hi Guys, Finally finished the detail painting. Here are some pictures. Now I just need to close it up. That is it for now. Cheers, 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 I have closed the fuselage and atached them to the wings with some heavy clamping. It now looks like a Yak 3. I have also sorted out the colours to use. So hopefully I can have here ready for some paint this weekend. I will try to put some pictures up tomorrow.

Arniec Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) OK guys, This where the model is at the moment. I haven't done anything on it the last few days. I am at the moment bussy to get my Saab Draken ready for another GB. She fits quite well. the only persuasion was between the wings and the fuselage. But this was solved with some clamping. There are some small seams to be filled, but nothing to serious. The next stage will mainly be doing all the small stuf (wheels, landing gear, etc) Hopefully the next update will be before painting.

Arniec Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 This build has stalled at the moment. I am now bussy to get two Ju-88's finished in the Ju-88 GB. After they are done I will pick this one up again. She is almost ready for some paint. Cheers, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 I have started the painting today with doing the red nose colour. But before I did that I first masked and placed the cockpit glass. I will try to put on some pictures tomorrow. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I have this in the stash Arnold - looks good mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Thanxs Andy. Here is a update of what has been done till now. I have painted the red nose and done this morning the blue(ish) underside. I used Gunze's H417 for that (RLM76). It is a close match (I think). Here are some pictures. After masking. And the red colour on. I used the red from Tamiya (XF 7)for this. I also did a bit of pre shading. And now the underside colour. As I said I have used Gunze's H417 for this. You can also see that I masked of the nose before spraying. Now I hope to paint the top side later today. Cheers, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 Painting done. The paint used is from gunze and for the AMT 11 I used H307 (Gray FS36320) and for AMT 12 H68 (RLM74). I don't now if they are a exact match, but close enough for me. Here are two pictures after the removing of all the masking. I will do a Klear coat later today, so that I can put the decals on tomorrow (hopefully). Cheers, 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arniec Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) And two pictures after the decals are on. There is some colour difference between the nose and the tail decal. Also the tail decals are to small for what they show on the manual. I also replaced the side stars, because I messed one up and had to raid my decal bank. Luckely I found some. They look like colour more to the nose than the tail. Well You can't have everything. I hope to put one tonight a coat of klear, so that I can do a Panel wash tomorrow.

Arniec Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) After doing the undercarriage and a few small stuff I call her finished. The pictures of the finished model will be in the Gallery. Here is a teaser. I enjoyed this one. It has been a time ago that I made a Russian aircraft. When the P-39 GB will go off I think I will build one in Russian colours. Cheers, Edited August 5, 2016 by Arniec 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
