Cool to see some Vessels of the IJA´s "mini-navy" built 👍 There are definetly some interesting vessels among them. Looking forward to more!
Evil toungs might of course argue that the Imperial Japanese Army had ships for one reason only: to battle their eternal rival and foe... the Imperial Japanese Navy!

Thanks Tom! I also have the Five Star Shimane Maru and Kumano Maru IJA carrier kits. Five Star does a really nice job on these kits - minus the instructions - with their resin hulls and PE detail pieces. Interesting vessels and color schemes indeed!
And you're not kidding about the rivalry between the IJN and the IJA. I've read a few books on the Japanese side of the war and you'd think they were mortal enemies, and not supposed to be fighting on the same side!

Thanks for looking in Gorby! Yeah, they had a few ships that were converted
The Akitsu Maru was originally intended as a passenger liner until it was taken over by the Imperial Japanese Army before completion. Interesting thing about the Akitsu Maru is that it was designed to carry planes as an escort carrier as well as vehicles for the IJA as a Type C landing craft depot ship. The planes were carried on platforms above the wooden deck (and under the flight deck), while vehicles were carried in the hull that exited through doors that opened in the stern (you can see one of the four doors in the picture). The ship also could carry landing craft in the hull, where the well deck could be flooded so the landing craft could float out of the ship.

Welcome gents. I'm not sure if these are the guys with the probe or if they're the ones who steal cows. They definitely don't want to be taken to our leader.

It won't be much different that it is. the description of this thing is literally a pure white tic tac shaped object without markings. 40 to 46 feet long with two "L" shaped antenna underneath. No obvious forms or propulsion.

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 😉

![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
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. 😉
9 August, 16:24
![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
Bernhard, danke schön! 🙂 Ja, es ist ein ziemlich kniffliges Modell, aber es macht großen Spaß, es zu bauen!
9 August, 17:17
![](/profiles/img/25743-467-s.jpg)
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.
10 August, 18:54
![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
Hereby 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!
12 August, 07:50
![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
That escalated quickly and nicely 👍
Where did you get the snow from in August? I know it's up north, but still... 😉

Thank 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
![](/profiles/img/26775-480-s.jpg)
Thank 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

Looks extremely nice and full of details. I'm looking forward to the end result.

Thank you Shar. I hope I can paint it and do the base chipping today. 🙂

The little excavator got his colors. Now he is waiting to be chipped...

Yeah, 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
![](/profiles/img/26775-480-s.jpg)
Thank 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
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
For 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
![](/profiles/img/26775-480-s.jpg)
"Hydraulic tubes" are removed. 😉
I painted additional dirt and grime effects with oilpaints.

Amazing work, love the weathering all around! Also very finely produced model kit, lot to clean up?
21 July 2023, 05:10
![](/profiles/img/26775-480-s.jpg)
Thank 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
![](/profiles/img/26775-480-s.jpg)
The building phase is done. Weathering process is also completed. Now I have to complete the base and the figure.

Congratulations Zsolt. I assume that award means something a lot more impressive than 'OK level'. It's certainly a vast amount better than just 'OK'. 😉

All the prices have a bigger volume than the model itself 😉
Congratulation for each and all of your medals! 👍

You can't do much better than this - excellent performance!
Congratulations and here's to a successful next time!
