Zveda Yak 130 scale 1:48

Nathan Dempsey
Nice start on the cockpit Jens. I will follow.

Sebastian Meyner
Great start! Love the ejection seats 👍

Slavo Hazucha
I'm in - crisp cockpit, looking forward for your take on this little bird! Are you going to do the camo & used state from pic 1? That would be epic!😉

Jens
Hello modelmate welcome on board 🙂

@ Slavo a 3 color camouflage is planned, but not the ID 01, much better would be a digital scheme, but unfortunately, the Yak 130 has not yet to offer the original 😉

Jens
I'm surprised how costly and how split Zvezda designed the Yak 130, okay, jet's are not my thing, but some form of the originals or the colors lure me.
Despite the very many parts, the parts fit together well, even if not always real dowel pins are available, dry fitting and with a preview tape is the norm, you could think Zvezda was sold to China 😉

*Ask for popcorn*😢 Jens i hope this is a relief against the last ICM builds? Looks already nice to me! 👍

Slavo Hazucha
Colors up, all in style, now to the best part!😉

Nathan Dempsey
Jens has turned on the afterburners for this build!

Slavo Hazucha
Wow, this is really going at some speed...! Looking good, smug details popping up, like the cap above the right engine and the ladders & covers, nice indeed😉 Looks like the canopy fit in closed state is less than stellar? - just asking, I was wondering if this neat little fellow should be added to my extended ToDo list...

Peter Hardy
Jens is a machine Slavo. Just pumps out museum pieces one after the other. Kind of intimidating for a mortal like me.

Holger Kranich
Moin Jens, hast Du die Sprengschnüre mit lackiert auf der Haube?

Jens
Thank you Thank you 🙂 @ Slavo, the fit is super good, the canopy also fits, I left it open to not obscure the view of the Eduard PE's, and it fits the covers of the engine and air intake, everything in the kit 👍
@ Holger no the detonating cord are decals from Zvezda, 2 canopies are included, once smooth, once inside! cast explosive cord
Zvezda has really created a good base 👍
@ Peter, why intimidating, there are precast parts, gluing in and if the base is right, the claim is not big, then it can also go quickly 🙂

Nathan Dempsey
Wonderful work Jens. The camo came out great 🙂

Neuling
Looks very good!

Stephan Ryll
Very nice work Jens 👍

Daniel Klink
Mäander Jens strikes again 👍 Looking very nice Jens 👍

Peter Hardy
Jens, it rolls so simply and easily off your tongue, you make it sound so easy!

Jens
Thanks for the nice words and compliments 🙂
@ Peter, yes it is so easy the glue provides the hold 😉, as simple as the colors, just bring lines with air and paint on the plastic 🙂

Peter Hardy
Glue eh? I might try that. Chewing gum doesn't work well enough for me.

Jens
Try ethyl acetate, which sticks faster than any glue I know, but the ether is reminiscent of a hospital 🙂

Peter Hardy
Tried that! Grew a third eye overnight. Is that stuff toxic?

Jens

It has certain requirements when dealing with it, you should not drink it, in the eyes you should not get it, but I also disinfect it with small wounds and still live, a Mulga snake would probably be worse in the house 😉 The safety instructions, unfortunately only in German and EU norm fishersci.de/store/m..e=DE&language=en ( ohhh, that's english, Win 10 was too fast translating 😄 )
