Repopulating the Forums with something I wrapped up not too long ago.This is the old Heller kit in 1/72,raised details, but very well done. Good fabric effects where required. I drilled out the exhaust ports & added some stretched sprue there. It was also my first attempt at rigging with stretched sprue, a little thick perhaps but I was happy with it. (yes, I tackled it in 1/72, I'm slightly masochistic I suppose). Kit decals were a little rough and off-register, I trimmed the excess red from the stars and used them, all other decals were scrounged from an older Hasegawa Yak-3, so, not correct, but I just HAD to use that Cyrillic script somewhere.
For those requiring a little something in the photo for scale, y'all know what Cuban coins look like right? RIGHT??!?
Oh, you don't?? Maybe something Canadian, ehh.
And sitting with it's new BIPLANE BUDDIE
Similar span, Polikarpov a little shorter
Merci monsieur Heller!
