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!

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! 👍

Thomas Kolb
Thank you Lukasz and Cuajete! Well, this is turning out to be an awful lot of work for such a small and simple model, I actually thought it will be something to do with one hand behind my back. But Amodel says: the f*** you will.

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

Juergen Klinglhuber
Started this one.
The Ju 86 which were seen in 2 different Austrian markings, but at the end was never part of the Airforce. Here the overall silver Ju86 #311 at the airshow in Vienna-Aspern in early 1937.

Watching!

Juergen Klinglhuber
Hello mates and thank you for your interest!

Juergen Klinglhuber
The mention aircraft was sent to the Airshow in Aspern as a "demonstrator" in austrian marking. Austria was interessed in buying 18 Ju86K-7. Due to several reasons Junkers was not prepared for that airshow and on short note removed the markings of an 86K-2 that was already prepared to be sold to Sweden. They put on austrian markings, a service number #311 and flew it over to Austria for just this one day. Flight captain Behrendt did a good job and the aerobatic air-display was a great success. So far so good. Why I am telling this? 86-K2 is a differend engine and cowling. The box is a 86E1/2. Aftermarket conversion products are out there (Kora) .....I had difficulties to locate/buy some.
Therefore: it is Scratchbuilding time again !!! 😎

Welcome Guy

Alec K
Nice progress. Modelimex is a place to get the Kora parts from, just in case 👍

Łukasz Gliński
There's one set here 😛

Cuajete
Good explanation, Juergen 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
thx Alec &Lukasz for you very kind support 👍 - appreciated.
But the first cuts are already done - no way back now 😉
(and I have to odmit: usually I like it to test my skills by a DIY task every now and then)

Bernd Grün
An Austrian Ju 86, I'm in! Nice start, Jürgen! 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber

Juergen Klinglhuber
Thank you and welcome J35J.

Stefan Fraundorfer
Ah, a new and very interesting project. Of course I will follow that. Have fun with the Ju 86 Jürgen.

Juergen Klinglhuber
Welcome aboard Stefan!

Juergen Klinglhuber
I have finished the modification on the engine resp. cowling. Some new pic's up-loaded.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Very interesting and extremely promising! We talked about it in Ried, and now I'm delighted to see these ideas being realised in such an impressive way!

Juergen Klinglhuber
🙏 Thx alot Roland, I am happy to receive your appreciation.

Nicolas
I'm joining this interesting build.

Łukasz Gliński
Impressive rework of the engines 👍

Alec K
I agree, looks very good 👍

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Nice progress Jürgen! I´m in to see how this beauty comes together 👍

Cuajete
Fantastic mods, 👌

Juergen Klinglhuber
Thank you mates for leaving your nice comments.Iam wWorking on the exhaust pipe currently. New picture up-date should be ready after this coming weekend.

Juergen Klinglhuber
All mod's are completted now - after adding the windows of the cockpit I can move it to the paint hangar.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Looks beautiful, clean and masterly done!

Juergen Klinglhuber
Hey - thank you Roland for your feedback. That gives motivation of course 🙂

Roland Sachsenhofer
That's great, that's how it should be, because your construction progress here gives me inspiration 🙂

Juergen Klinglhuber
Ju86 just left the paint hangar,...

Alec K
The metal finish looks great, has nice variation to it 👍

Thomas Kolb
I agree with Alec, the metal surface looks very realistic in the photos!

Cuajete
I agree with Alec and Thomas. Great metallized! 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Thank you Alec, Thomas & Cuajete. When I had finished I thought: "Grab, overdone. This bird was for sure not that worn as it went to the airshow more or less fresh from the manufacturer." But the more looked at it the more I was okay with the result. So your comments are welcome and soothe my concerns. 👍
