Final model looks like it might perhaps be heavy, can the landing gear handle the weight?

jan zumack
He treehugger, i tested the legs with 2kg per leg, i hope it is enough. If its not i drill in a seperat roundsteel to Catch the weight.

Alec K
Wow, just found this and what an incredible project! Just fantastic, thank you for sharing it here 👍

Patrick Hagelstein
First time I'm seeing this one built. Would be cool to tag along. 👍

Sarunas D
Welcome!

Patrick Hagelstein
Thanks Sarunas! 😄 I guess your modelling time has been as limited as mine. 😉

Sarunas D
Lots of work on this kit

Patrick Hagelstein
I surely believe that with that full interior alone. 😳

Sarunas D
I'm still waiting for additional upgrade parts. These are parts for the crane arm and interior. For the interior, there is an additional monitor for the driver, a new radio, and new controls for the crane. It may be tricky to change parts in the interior as everything is glued and painted. If there's a risk of breaking something in the interior, I'll leave it as is.
Mounting the RFM power pack is another challenge because HobbyBoss molded the engine rack incorrectly. It's not wide enough and angled wrong. One way to go is to assemble the power pack and dry-fit it to the rack to get the exact dimensions of both components. The rack is already assembled, so it requires extra care during handling. Another option is to wait for a new upgrade set from MAD-Modellbau, which you can look up on YT Rick's 1/35 channel. Worst case, I'll leave the power pack off.

Sarunas D
The power pack is fitted to the kit. The modified engine rack is not accurate but looks good enough. Now to apply supporting parts and some putty.

David Taylor
Defo in.

Sarunas D
Welcome!

Lenny Li
Well done! what a shame to cover up all those interior details.

Sarunas D
Thanks. The hatches will stay open, so no worries.

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

Arda
Nice!

Cristian A
Thank you Arda! This is one of my first kits ever built, +20
Years old 🙂

Neuling
Clean and careful work!

Mona
and It looks sexy too

Evan McCallum
I don't think that Magic Factory is aiming to be a budget brand. More basic kits like those from Takom's Blitz line are still incredibly reasonably priced for example.

Matthias Weiss
I'll keep an eye on the Chinese market and let you guys know the local reference price as soon as it is available. Than you can think about if the importers and hobby stores in your countries are ripping you off or not. 😉

Eric Silbaugh
Ebay has some direct from China sellers. Can get for next to store price. That's where I'll get mine from.

Mina Ro
Ya its sad we have to buy elsewhere due to price but it is a choice I utilize to get a better price for sure. Just make sure its a seller in China who packs models correctly and ships promptly or your going to wait over a month and get a broken kit. Always check feedback first.

Eric Silbaugh
I do. I have a good three that I can trust and have had great experience with and no issues

Trez Mackenzie
I stopped buying from China - kits always broken and forever to arrive and for all that they make about a 1000% profit.

Eric Silbaugh
None of mine have been broken.

Trez Mackenzie
But you have only bought one.

Eric Silbaugh
Multiple from the same seller. So more than one.

Trez Mackenzie
Sure, multiple kits in one sale

Eric Silbaugh
Nope. Multiple transactions.

Trez Mackenzie
Yep. Multiple transactions with just one kit. Difficult to break paints

Eric Silbaugh
No multiple different kits. Do you just hate Chinese or something? Or?

Trez Mackenzie
Just trying to get to the truth

Eric Silbaugh
Got ya.

Eric Silbaugh
Well you got it.

Evan McCallum
Can we stop bickering and act like adults now?

Eric Silbaugh
It all good

Trez Mackenzie
I think you should mind your own business. No one was addressing you so keep pious nose out of it!
