Project: Yak-12 - Amodel

Łukasz GlińskiMe 3, I have to see that! Still procrastinating mine 😄
Thomas, are you considering getting rid of the decal with my support perhaps? 😉
26 July, 20:14
Thomas KolbŁukasz, 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.)

Thomas KolbThank you very much, dear gentlemen for your attention and encouraging words!

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

Thomas KolbThank 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.

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

Thomas KolbBernhard, danke schön! 🙂 Ja, es ist ein ziemlich kniffliges Modell, aber es macht großen Spaß, es zu bauen!
9 August, 17:17
NicolasYes 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
Thomas KolbBruce, 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
Thomas KolbRoland 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.
10 August, 18:54
Thomas KolbHereby I declare the project finished! Quite a fast progress for me, only three weeks from start to finish. It may not be the best model I have ever built - there are too many silly or clumsy mistakes here and there - but it was great fun! More photos will come!

Łukasz GlińskiThat escalated quickly and nicely 👍
Where did you get the snow from in August? I know it's up north, but still... 😉

Zsolt CzegleThank you mates!
It's a fast project again for a Facebook Group build event Vörös Június ( Red June) between 12.6 and 12.7. The main rule: build a Soviet or Russian manufactured vehicle/pláne. So I decided to build this little excavator...
16 June 2023, 14:29
Zsolt CzegleThank you mates for your interest!
Meanwhile I attached some lead wires as "hydraulic tubes" there are still some pieces to glue and I can start with the most interesting part: the painting
18 June 2023, 21:48
Shar DipreeLooks extremely nice and full of details. I'm looking forward to the end result.
29 June 2023, 20:28
Zsolt CzegleThank you Shar. I hope I can paint it and do the base chipping today. 🙂
30 June 2023, 10:33
Zsolt CzegleThe little excavator got his colors. Now he is waiting to be chipped...
30 June 2023, 20:51
Michael KohlYeah, that's the way it is suppose to look. The only slight issue I have are the hydraulic hoses. They look a bit too kinky. Being made frome rubber I would expect them to have a smoother routing. Probably something that can still be fixed.
16 July 2023, 18:45
Zsolt CzegleThank you Michael for your remark. After checking the reference photos I realized that the hydraulic tubes are shorter than I made, so I'll replace them! Maybe I'll replace them with coper wire instead of lead wires so they won't be so kinky.
17 July 2023, 05:40
Michael KohlFor my D9 build I used silicone tubes. They route nicely but attract dust like anything. So copper wire would be my choice too.
17 July 2023, 10:03
Zsolt Czegle"Hydraulic tubes" are removed. 😉
I painted additional dirt and grime effects with oilpaints.
19 July 2023, 19:43
Edgars BizūnsAmazing work, love the weathering all around! Also very finely produced model kit, lot to clean up?
21 July 2023, 05:10
Zsolt CzegleThank you Edgars! It's still ca. 90% completed.
The kit 3D printed so the casted resin parts had some visible layering but not that bad, so I could remove them with some sanding. The casting qualiti is perfect, there was almost nothing to clean. Fitting the parts was also without any problems.
21 July 2023, 07:30
Zsolt CzegleThe building phase is done. Weathering process is also completed. Now I have to complete the base and the figure.
23 July 2023, 18:20
Simon NagorsnikOh Wow!!
It's always a pleasure watching your work!
Perfect paint job, outstanding as always 👏👏
27 July 2023, 14:17
gorbyCongratulations Zsolt. I assume that award means something a lot more impressive than 'OK level'. It's certainly a vast amount better than just 'OK'. 😉
6 September 2023, 17:02
bughunterAll the prices have a bigger volume than the model itself 😉
Congratulation for each and all of your medals! 👍
23 April, 10:49
Simon NagorsnikYou can't do much better than this - excellent performance!
Congratulations and here's to a successful next time!
