Oh this should be nice! The AM Yak-1 is a very nice kit OOB. With Eduard goodies, it will really be beyond nice!

Dealing with the PE triangle part that goes on the main struts and losing one of them, I decided.. Screw It! I'm building this one wheels up and hang it on my ceiling by my bench.
I hate working with tiny PE parts

Nice work on that cockpit Tom! 
I hate PE too. Could you replace the missing part with plastic sheet?

I find find the instrument panel (clear) and side consoles for cockpit. I was too far in the cockpit build so I didn’t bother using them.

Undersides painted, topside painted Tsmiya Olive Green, red nose using Model Master Russian Marker Red - not really a true red. Hard to tell by photos even though it looks like flat red. Definitely a different shade of red.
Next, a second color for the camo. Going to use Mission Models Worn Tire Black.
