JohnIf you haven't read it, I highly recommend the book "The Threadbare Buzzard" by Capt. Thomas M. Tomlinson.

Łukasz GlińskiForgot to photograph the cockpit before adding the canopy - hope you forgive me that 😛

Mr DComing along nicely 👍
Did you use masking fluid on the canopy??
Thanks for uploading... interesting build 😃👍

Yak-52 Ukraine - Drone Hunter

Second color applied.
Project: Yak-52 Ukraine “Drone Hunter”

Nathan DempseyWelcome Torsten & Robert!
I've started the fuselage assembly and clamps were needed.
27 July, 15:43
DutchNathan, I am following along as well. I have friends in eastern Ukraine, so very interested in this one. Kind regards, Dutch
31 July, 20:47
Nathan DempseyWelcome Dutch! This build is turning into a slog. Clamps and super-glue "force-holds" galore. Luckily it is a tiny plane so I'm nearly done already, just completing all the seam sanding.

Nathan DempseyWorking on the cowl. I had to use 2-part epoxy clay to fill a large gap on the bottom of the cowl that was created by making the cowl fit straight & level.

DutchLooking good. Keep up the progress. The splinter pattern will be stupendous when done.
13 August, 16:03
Nathan DempseyThanks Dutch! Man I just realized looking at pictures that the wing camo is a mirror image for the other wing. It won't be perfect… 😁

Nathan DempseyWelcome to the show Ben! I've applied the first color today. Now off to cut masks for the next color. I've been spoiled by those pre-cut masks…
16 August, 17:41
DutchNathan, quick question. Why not just spray the first color overall, then mask only the subsequent colors? Saves at least one step, I should think. Carry on. I am enjoying the show.
16 August, 17:47
Nathan DempseyIn this case I just got a little too happy masking. I even decided against my usual preshade since this plane's paint looks really new in all the pictures.
17 August, 17:20
DutchNathan, are you going to put kill markings on it?

Nathan DempseyWell my printer is dead, but my dad has a similar one so I'm going to try… Wish me luck.
19 August, 17:35
Nathan DempseyThe second color has been applied. Slow going here as my workbench time has been lacking.

Zvezda KA-52 “Aligator” Ukraine War - build progress
1:72
Painted the Aligator’s nose black and around the engines exhaust with MRP-005
Project: Ka-52 "Alligator"
2+ 22 28 July, 11:08
Cristian AThanks Michael for the input, the more I look at the two Tamiya colors the more inclined I get to use them, also I already have them and they are of good quality.
Will continue to post progress.

Shar DipreeLooks good so far. Following.
How good and detailed do you think the kit is?
16 August, 19:38
Cristian AHi Shar, the details are good enough for a 16 EUR kit but the build is not easy, struggled a lot with the canopy and cockpit. It's not a perfect representation of the real Alligator as it is built after the initial variant / prototype (EOP above, no camouflage scheme and paint references for it, no countermeasure system under the back landing gear and the nose is a bit different as well). The panel lines are recessed, so hopefully weathering will go smooth.
16 August, 20:22
Cristian AYes it does!!
Thanks a lot for encouraging me to use it. I was very close to buying this entire paint set instead:
HTK-CS86 Russian AF Helicopt.. 1, Hataka Hobby Orange Line , Acrylic Lacquer, 8x 17ml
19 August, 21:35
Shar DipreeLooks great so far.
What kind of mixing ratio did you use for the ak paint?
20 August, 04:53
Cristian AHi Shar, around 40% paint + 60% thinner. I measure it in pipette drops - example 4 drops of paint, 6 drops of thinner.

chris pattenHi, do you have any rips for printing rhe mid and aft sections? I cant get them just right. The bottom edge usually flares out or droops.
