Wish i could buy interesting models like the ones i see on here. But since im so young i cant buy them from the internet and i live in estonia so the model/hobby shops that there are few and far between

I can't look in your wallet, but shipping from Poland to Estonia is around €10.
If your age is an issue, be nice to some adults around you 😉

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

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.

(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.)

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

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.

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

Bernhard, danke schön! 🙂 Ja, es ist ein ziemlich kniffliges Modell, aber es macht großen Spaß, es zu bauen!
9 August, 17:17

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. 👍
9 August, 19:22
![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
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?
10 August, 08:01
![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
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.

For a relatively new kit I am surprised on how much flash and fitting issues this kit has.
2 August, 04:46
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
It's really hard for me to fight off the urge to correct the structural issues with this kit. But I promised myself I would make this one out of the box.
2 August, 11:32

I've seen that promise before Skyhiker! 😂 Good luck keeping this one OOB! 😉👍🏼

Mate, I think you should put the windshield uspside down. The ángel does not cope with the real one as I see on photographs.
2 August, 20:52
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Unfortunately it looks even worse the other way around. The idiot engineers at Revell should be fired.
2 August, 21:04
![](/profiles/img/45156-715-s.jpg)
Well, I had some work with French engineers and I know shit happens. Could you take a photo with this one in the other position?

The windshield is not an isoscelles triangle so the windshield has not a 45 degree ángel over the capot. Please, see these example of a TA-152 (and please, mind It is 35 years old and I was only 13 when I drestroyed It).
I think an easy solution can be made. I do not want any mate to be anoyed by an engineering issue. I had them everyday (it's my job, Factory engineering problem solving, known as 'shit managing") and It can destroy your mojo.
2 August, 21:23
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
After several hours of sculpting I got the canopy to fit better. I will continue with it tomorrow.
3 August, 02:12
![](/profiles/img/45156-715-s.jpg)
Your mojo works, mate! Now you have became a great problem solver!
On the other hand, I think another 3D engineering guy needs to stop drinking and 20 years of 2D drafting. The fitting is worse than I could imagine. But I see is no a problem for a seasoned mate like you. Great work, mate!
3 August, 05:17
![](/profiles/img/25743-467-s.jpg)
Following. I build this kit several times in older versions. The fit of the canopy is realy sh*t. My solution was (with about 10 years) to sand the backside of the windshild till it fitted. Of corse so most of the frame is missing.
3 August, 05:31
![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
What a struggle! It reminds me of some Heller and Amodel kits. But it looks that you manage to coax it into shape!

Sergio the TA 152 had a very different canopy than the 190. The 152 was designed for high altitude flying, was pressurized and had double panes.
4 August, 10:03
![](/profiles/img/45156-715-s.jpg)
Thanks you, Skyhiker: I think I can remember now, as I researched about FW190 and TA152 black in the 90's. Also, canopy is bubble-shapped. Sorry, my FW190 Mustang have been gone forever, I expent the night trying to find It, just to find my solution, but I think only the reta of the TA152 has survived.

You done a better job of the seat belts than l did 🤣. The cockpit glass on my model was not very clear!

That's a great start at converting models. I've always thought it's important to exercise your imagination frequently. 🙂
11 August, 13:06
![](/profiles/img/144821-523-s.jpg)
Gorby i didnt convert anything, just stuck some left over parts and a broken sherman together lol. But yeah i have been exercising my imagination. Even came up with a name for the contraption. Its called the ✨✨✨ "MX4A1" ✨✨✨. A now retired and discontinued bunker buster kamikaze sherman M4A1 with the capability to fire two unguided missiles

Junkers 86 K7 - Austrian markings '37![View album, image #30 View album, image #30](/albums/img/8/5/9/1783859-10307-95-720.jpg)

Progetto: Junkers 86 - Austrian markings '37
29 31 May, 15:38
![](/profiles/img/10307-421-s.jpg)
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.
2 June, 11:10
![](/profiles/img/10307-421-s.jpg)
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 !!! 😎

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)

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

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

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!

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. 👍
9 August, 16:22
![](/profiles/img/25743-467-s.jpg)
Don't worry Juergen, even on new airplanes there are sometimes clear visual differences in the sheet metal. For example, some manufacturers deburr the rivet holes with a grinding machine, the sheets are made of different alloys or are applied with different rolling directions, all of which have an influence on the appearance. I like it.
