Ever since I was a kid I wanted to have a good model of this elegant plane. I've assembled both NOVO/FROG and Special Hobby. Not the same. The Clear Prop model is a step higher.
P.S. I haven't quite figured out how to link the project to the model yet, sorry.

Robert Podkoński
Beautiful model of a beautiful plane! Chapeau bas, Anatolii!

Finally a good 1/72 plastic model of this aircraft. Looks like Clear Prop did a good job. I'm stuck with the Airfix one and the KP one doesn't seem to be a good representation.

Fantastic result. Very nice model.
Congrats!

I think to link a project to an album you have to create a new project (from projects --> add new project) and then link or create an album to the project

Anatolii Smyshliaiev
Thank you.
I couldn't connect the project with the model, although I have the model in my stash. And the project with the album too. I'll figure it out.

Mr D
1) Add it to stash from kits list,
2) Status= Started.
3) Go to Edit...scroll down to link project, Select the desired kit from list.
Should be all good then

Nice build 👍👍 nice shiny red, was this the plane that had X2 engine's inline??

Anatolii Smyshliaiev
The model from Clear Prop is definitely better than KP and all the others in terms of geometry, detailing and quality.
It is also possible to purchase an engine (DH.88 Engine (Clear Prop! CPA72141, 1:72)) and make an open hood. But this is already an amateur's choice

Christoph Kunz
The most beautifull plane ever.
And you did an excellent job. 👍

Anatolii Smyshliaiev
Thanks, I'll try it next time.
Engine according to Wikipedia 2 × de Havilland Gipsy Six R air-cooled six-cylinder inverted inline, 230 hp

Mr D
😲 wow.... powerful beast in its time.
Thanks for info.... very smart airframe 👍👍

Ben M
Wow, it's not easy to get a red gloss finish like that!

Spanjaard
very nice result.

Sweet. Jumping in here.

Mickaël Gaspar
Thanks a lot to all of you 👍

Thomas Espe
Very nice. 👀

Stefan Schacht
nice start, count me in.

Mickaël Gaspar
Thank you!

Robert Barkoski
Finemolds makes great kits. Can't wait to see it finished.

Poor old Y-Wings, bit like the guys who wear the red shirts in Star Trek - always the first to get shot. Nice build. That big red circle display in the cockpit looks like it should have " DO NOT PRESS!" written on it though and ejects the engine pods if you do.

Mickaël Gaspar
Thanks, i improvised a bit for the cockpit and also for the outside because the decals were way too old and i tried to match the right colors but i'm colorblind...

DerMattes
Great looking Y-Wing so far 👍 looking forward to the finished build!

Mickaël Gaspar
Thanks DerMattes 🥹.

Hi! I Just finished the same model and it was quite interesting. Will be interesting to follow your progress.

C'est ma 1ere 'big five' : un kit que je voulais faire depuis 20 ans !

Spanjaard
i managed to get my hand in another boxing of the same kit... also wanting to have it for more than 20 years, really curious about what it can be done with it 🙂

nikfrost
Very jealous, looking forward to the build

Spanjaard
it is still possible to get the kit but it certainly is getting more and more expensive....

Stéphane Jayet
Kit difficile à trouver, j'espère la monter un jour.... Bon montage

Spanjaard
not difficult to find....difficult to pay, maybe 😉 there are 3 for sale, here in SCM, for example. Prices go from 70USD to 99EUR (+Shipping, I assume)
and there is one kit of the other boxing also for 70USD

Spanjaard
I got one for a good friend, but I was really lucky to find it locally and for a very good price.

Martin Oostrom
I know that friend!
Definitely watching this one. It seems Bruno and I share the same taste for cars 😁

bruno egral
C'est un miracle : je cherchais sans y croire ce kit sur un grand site marchand bien connu. Mais il était très cher et au Japon ou aux Usa. Et un jour j'en trouve un à un prix raisonnable (80 euros tout de même) en France. J'ai foncé et tout c'est très bien passé : kit et décals en parfait état, juste la boîte un peu passé. Et le vendeur super sympa en plus. J'étais ravi.

bruno egral
Et toutes les pièces étaient sur leur grappe dans leur sachet plastique scellé. Sur la photo j'ai déjà commencé le kit : bain, séchage et début du dégrappage.

Spanjaard
yes, I paid very similar for mine....I thought, it will only increase, so it is now or never, I was in love with it when I was looking at the tamiya catalogue back in the 90's..... never expected to eventually getting another even cheaper! now, let's concentrate in the beauty you are going to build 🙂

Michael Kohl
Following. Still struggling with my Revell/Modeltrans/OKB Grigorov Merk. Also bought the EMP3D ball and chain armour but see that you used the balls only. Anxious to hear why. Where did you find the super fine chain? I didn't.

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic work so far. Keep it up!

I had also thought about replicating the chainball armor with chains for my two Merkavas and tried but failed because the chains I found all seemed too big.

Michael Kohl
I was elated when EMP3D released the ball and chain armour and I ordered it and it looks very good. So I am anxious to know why Pryzemyslav discarded it.

Welcome back to modelling Kate. Sticking bits of plastic together is very different to when we were all younger and some aspects seem to be a lot more confusing than they used to be. Youtube is a very good place to find tutorials or feel free to ask questions here.

Kate Ward
Thanks! I've been watching two channels already, Night Shift and Panzermeister36. I'd welcome any reccomendations for more. 'Specially some that are aircraft-focused, since my next build after the KV will be Border's B5N2 Kate. (I had to pick that one, it's got my name on it. I only started on the KV first because it arrived in the mail a day earlier.)

gorby
I don't generally watch any Youtube modelling videos unless there is a particular technique I want to learn so I can't personally recommend any, although I know that Uncle Night Shift is one of the best. Hopefully someone else will be able to recommend something suitable. 🙂

Spanjaard
welcome back to the hobby. i would suggest on focusing in enjoying it more than mastering techniques 😉 of course, seek advise if got stuck
