@Robert- "speedboat". Definitely my last build for a while, been trying to run down the stash.

Very nice build A, that's probably a bit better materiel than my Yak-1b.
I have to disappoint you, but I think the undercarriage wasn't leaning inwards that much:

Oh, piffle- better get the splints on them and get them straightened 😞

Thanks Cuajete, I'm no "rivet counter" and don't know their relative sizes, but this Yak-3 seems to be on scale. It looks like a tiny Soviet gnat. Much like Putin.

Hey Andy. Nice project and plane. As always your explanations in each picture are very interesting. Good work with the scrap parts.

You're working as fast as lightning Andy, pun intended 😄
Looking good 👍🏻

Good job.
This paint on the tail, it was just when the Normandie Niemen come Back to France.
During the war, there was a red star on the tail.

@Noël, thanks for those historic notes. The duo combo pack allows 3 schemes, and the Croix de Lorraine seemed unique to Delfino's mount, and doesn't involve putting on a Russian red star, so I thought it was a twist on the usual theme. Therefore this project is set when the squadron returned to France. Cool!
A bientôt, et merci beaucoup.

Thanks Cuajete- getting close to finals. I had a heavy weekend with commitments and lost some build time!

Very nice job, Andy 👍
One express build more with a little pause, but very well executed.
Congrats!
