Wee Beastie Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Well that's finished the Yak. A very enjoyable build, despite the engine casing's fit issue, but that was easily sorted out, so don't let that put you off.Aftermarket used was a pair of NeOmega resin seats. Painted with Vallejo Metal Colours, and Akan acrylics.Weathered with UMP wash, and Tamiya's Weathering Master System.Ian G-38 by ian gaskell, on FlickrIan G-39 by ian gaskell, on FlickrIan G-40 by ian gaskell, on FlickrIan G-41 by ian gaskell, on FlickrIan G-42 by ian gaskell, on FlickrIan G-43 by ian gaskell, on FlickrIan G-44 by ian gaskell, on FlickrIan G-45 by ian gaskell, on FlickrIan G-46 by ian gaskell, on FlickrIan G-47 by ian gaskell, on FlickrIan G-48 by ian gaskell, on FlickrIan G-49 by ian gaskell, on FlickrIan G-50 by ian gaskell, on FlickrIan G-51 by ian gaskell, on FlickrIan G-52 by ian gaskell, on FlickrIan G-53 by ian gaskell, on FlickrIan G-54 by ian gaskell, on FlickrIan G-55 by ian gaskell, on Flickr 44 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ade H Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Ah, I found it. Two of your photos are over-exposed! However, I can't find a single crumb of comfort in the form of any little imperfection in that model. It actually makes me want to build one and it's not really even my era. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain goat Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Superb build. I'm most impressed by the typical leaning-on-crutches stance just like the real thing, and also the nicely detailed cockpit and engine pods. Photography is great too, my eyes needed a while to adapt to the whiteness though. Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ham Hands Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Fantastic. I have always thought this aircraft was striking. Your model proves it. I came here after seeing a kit online and thought about purchasing.... Tempting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazey Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 As others have already said, that's a wonderful model. I'll have to check if anyone has brought out a 1/72 kit. Regards, David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger331 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Great model of a great subject.....Well Done, sir It is, indeed, a fairly unique looking machine and right out of a Dan Dare comic book in some ways. I recently got up close and personal with one at the Tartu Aviation museum here in Estonia. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus999 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Wow! Such an interesting aircraft, and you did a great job with the metal finish. You really captured that cold war, eastern bloc wear and tear! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
