Ayacucho Maquetas (Argentina) 1/72nd Yakovlev AIR-7

[fjaweijfopi4j48]

A build from 9 years ago, a beautiful very limited production run kit cast by master modeler Matías Hagen from Argentina:

 

The detail of the parts of this resin kit is outstanding and the instructions are very clear.

The dedication on the making of the parts becomes evident when you see that the cushion, a separate part from the seat, has a teeny tiny arrow in the back pointing the right direction for its position, since the cushions also have some relief depicted.

Although some components (fus sides, wheel pants) are keyed (they do have pins and correspondent tiny holes) I opted for sanding the fuselage mating surfaces carefully flat.

The guiding pins are very useful though regarding the tail surfaces, wings and other pieces that need alignment.

You get about 60 parts.

No decals for this hot rod, since the original had no marks, which comes as a relief.

Exquisite kit of a delightful plane, a true pleasure.

Matías painstakingly produces limited runs of unbelievably detailed kits in resin. He is working now on future releases, check it out.

Another beauty, Moa.

 

I always enjoy seeing your lovely civvy Golden Era aeroplanes.

Another stunner Moa. What a delightful little model and indeed aeroplane. I would not like to land the real thing though - forward visibility looks very restricted.

 

Matias' blog looks interesting - an Avro Cadet - very tempting!

 

Cheers
