Thanks Kari. To be honest the kit is a very good easy assembly kit. The belts were missing and the radio cables too. Cables and buckles were done off warm extended sprues, belts itself off tamiya masking tape. Bought that kit for 1 bug at Revell's outlet day. So brilliant kit for that price and good base.KSaarni wrote:Nice work Marius, I lift my virtual hat to see how extremely detailed work you do in the cockpit..

Thank you all!
Small update: black base followed by Aluminum at the metal sections. Prepared for a very reduced chipping effect.

Looking real good! But don’t forget, most Yaks had a mostly wooden construction of the airframe, like the Mosquito. Check your references on the type before you do the chipping.

Thanks Carlos for your "warning". Copy that. I will mask the metal parts. Then black basing over the aluminum overspray and then camou with chipping. Not too much and not a too dull finish. The Yaks got a layer of wax to optimze surface properties.

Sweet work Marius! Sensational job on the cockpit.
Reno huh? Well, if you make it back across to Chattanooga Tennessee, feel free to stop in and see a USA IPMS Nationals. You might even see me if you look for the guy with "the Duke" on his shirt!
