sgr Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Love, lovely Yak 1b from Arma Hobby (1/72 scale). Had a great time assembling and painting that model. All mistakes (and there are lots of them) it's my fault, not Arma :). No antenna, have to practice first and I see that I can drill guns - I will do... someday ;). 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzapaolo Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 No mistakes I can see, looks great! I got one of these in the stash, seeing this one makes me want to build it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyJammedKenny! Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Nicely done! This looks as I would imagine the real thing. You've really made this turn out well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Yes, yes, yes! Beautiful Yak-1b! I also have the Arma kit, but I doubt I could equal your result. I have always wanted to do a Yak-1 in Normandie-Niemen markings, and was waiting for a decent kit ; now seeing how nice a model can be built from the Arma kit, I might just try. Well done!

sgr Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 Thanks guys. It is strange plane though - nothing, no panel-lines, red stars, inspecrions etc on upper wing surface. I tried to play with shades, but I think I could be a little more brave with that, because it is barely visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 3 minutes ago, sgr said: no panel-lines, You would expect that on an aircraft that used a lot of wood in its construction- covered with fabric, doped, and with a coat of thick furniture polish applied to smooth things out, which was quite common for WW2 VVS aircraft from what I have read.

sgr Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 Sure, I know why it looks like that, but it's difficult to put life in such big, flat surface without any details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Big flat surface? On a 1/72 Yak.1? "to put life" is a cliche, we are talking about a fairly small piece of shaped wood which didn't have any "life". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
