Cool car you chose for your first project. Have fun.

Irineu Junior
Thanks Michael! I've always wanted to build a rally car like this!
I'll try to keep that album updated.

Sam S
Taking a seat 👍🏻

Irineu Junior
After applying primer: preparing for paint.

Irineu Junior
Chassis painted with spray. I'll take the paint off the can and use in airbrush.
It will be easier to control the flow, mainly on the body.

I always enjoy a first build. Taking a seat. Anyone sharing popcorn???

Sure to follow
Bozzer you can have some popcorn 🍿

Having done one of these recently, I will give you a heads up that the decals canbe a tad brittle, especially the big ones going across the doors. LOTS of softener needed. PS: beautiful seal point.

Junior, beautiful painting. This is a rally classic. Good choice.

Irineu Junior
Thanks, folks! I'll try to update frequently.
Good tip, @bossy122, thank you!
I messed up a lot with the panel line scraper, had to fix with CA and sandpaper…

Irineu Junior
Display base acquired!

George Williams
Looking good so far.

Looking good so far.

Irineu Junior
Thanks guys! Keep on moving!

Irineu Junior
Body painted, with airbrush and decanted TS-50. Next steps: decals and clear coat.

Irineu Junior
Most of decals applied. Next step: gloss coat and finish.

Do not use Tamiyas TS 13 clear. It will melt your decals.

Spanjaard
first build? it looks real good, keep at it 🙂

Irineu Junior
Thanks @Spanjaard and @bossy122! I'll use X-22.

Jorge Ferreira
Well what can I say. Was it beginners luck or a skillfull modeller ? Those decals look great. I`ve build 4 and the decals were a nightmare. Congratulations. 😊👌

Stéphane Jayet
I would have loved my first build looking like this ! Well done

Irineu Junior
Thank you Jorge and Stéphane! I've been building it at a slow pace, getting a lot of help from forums and videos.

George Williams
Looks good.

Patryk S.
Following! Good luck!

Taking a chair!👍🏻

Łukasz Gliński
Me 3, I have to see that! Still procrastinating mine 😄
Thomas, are you considering getting rid of the decal with my support perhaps? 😉

Thomas Kolb
Łukasz, I am not going to use the provided decal sheet, so if you want it, just PM me with your address and I can post it.

Thomas Kolb
(And for everybody else with knowledge about the different versions of the Yak-12, yes, I am aware of the differences between the A-version in the kit and the R-version used by the Hungarian People's Army. But since I am not able to scratch build the entire wing and empennage structure, let's just call it artistic license.)

Cuajete
Looking good so far, Thomas 👍
Feel free to take artistic license 😉

Robert Podkoński
Watching for sure!

Alec K
Taking a seat, looks great 👍

Thomas Kolb
Thank you very much, dear gentlemen for your attention and encouraging words!

Michael Kohl
Following too

Nicolas
I'm joining in as well. Great build so far. 👍

Bruce Huxtable
Admiring your skills, and learning from your problem-solving, Thomas. Transforming an A-Model kit adds to the challenges 😉

Thomas Kolb
Thank you Michael, Nicolas & Bruce for your interest and compliments! This kit is actually not quite as bad as some other Amodel kits I have built - the designers have created some pretty nifty solutions here! If anything, it is a bit unforgiving - make one small mistake and you can be sure that it will keep coming back to kick you.

Łukasz Gliński
What a cool visor 👍

Cuajete
Great progress! 👍

Bernhard Pethe
Wunderbarer Modellbau. Ich hab das Modell auch noch liegen und genauso wollte ich es auch machen. Mal sehen, wenn ich groß bin. 😉

Thomas Kolb
Bernhard, danke schön! 🙂 Ja, es ist ein ziemlich kniffliges Modell, aber es macht großen Spaß, es zu bauen!

Cuajete
Looks great so far, Thomas 👍

Nicolas
Yes Thomas, I don't think you get any easy builds from Amodel. But with some work you get a nice and rare model. I realy like your progress. 👍

Thomas Kolb
Bruce, Lukasz, Cuajete, Nicolas, thank you! Yes, Amodel is actually cool in that they take a chance to make models outside the ordinary. Who else would design a model kit of a strange and ugly little high-winged Soviet aircraft instead of another Stuka, Tomcat or a Spitfire?

Danumurthi Mahendra
Lovely topic that I dont see alot. Nice progress!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Wow, what a beautiful an clean build! Inspiring and masterly!

Cuajete
That Alclad gloss coated looks great with the brush, Thomas 👍

Thomas Kolb
Roland thank you mate! Cuajete, yes, this is the best gloss coat I have ever tried. It levels out to an absolute mirror shine (at least if it is applied to a perfectly smooth paint layer). This model ended up with a bit of orange peel effect at some places, so it is not absolutely perfect, but I can get away with it.

Guy Rump
Looking great, following. 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Great result Thomas - 👍

Thomas Kolb
Hereby I declare the project finished! Quite a fast progress for me, only three weeks from start to finish. It may not be the best model I have ever built - there are too many silly or clumsy mistakes here and there - but it was great fun! More photos will come!

Łukasz Gliński
That escalated quickly and nicely 👍
Where did you get the snow from in August? I know it's up north, but still... 😉

Roland Sachsenhofer
Wonderful and inspiring! Great work!!

Neuling
Top result! Beautiful photos!

Robert Podkoński
Great job, Thomas! Fantastic photos.

Martin Oostrom
I'd like to be your codriver on this journey

István Szücs
I'm just looking.

Michael Kohl
Looking good.

Ricard Gomicia Calatayud
great job! I don't know if I'd be abme to dirt it after finishing it hahaha

CasModeler
@Ricard
Of course you can do wash after finishing. Just use enamel/acrylics paints and pigment(pulver).

CasModeler
Finished

bossy122
SO dirty!

CasModeler
a lot of fun in weathering.

Neuling
Good work, dynamic and realistic!
