YAK-3 1:48 ZVEZDA 4th Guardian Fighter Aviation Division of USSR Air Force


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys, this is my latest kit. This kit was fantastic to build with a high level of accuracy in each section. The kit is offered in three different versions. After irreparably damaging the engine (very nice example of this detail)during the building, I opted for the version number 3. I used Revell paint, seat belts from Eduard. I also used oil paint trying to create smoke effect from the engine and coolant flow. The building was  a bit challenging due to the size of the kit even in scale 1:48l.The Yank-3 was one of the smallest fighter during ww2 but one of the best for its manoeuvrability and speed. Any advice and comment are very much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Pete,

Thank you for your feedback. As varnish, I used Pledge applied by brush.However since I used oil I left the glossy varnish underneath worried that with an additional matt varnish on the top, I would make a big mess. I think that applying the warnish with airbrush the problem will not exsist.
