Taking a chair!👍🏻

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

Thomas Kolb
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.

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.)

Cuajete
Looking good so far, Thomas 👍
Feel free to take artistic license 😉

Robert Podkoński
Watching for sure!

Alec K
Taking a seat, looks great 👍

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

Nicolas
I'm joining in as well. Great build so far. 👍

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

Thomas Kolb
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.

Łukasz Gliński
What a cool visor 👍

Cuajete
Great progress! 👍

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

Thomas Kolb
Bernhard, danke schön! 🙂 Ja, es ist ein ziemlich kniffliges Modell, aber es macht großen Spaß, es zu bauen!

Cuajete
Looks great so far, Thomas 👍

Nicolas
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. 👍

Thomas Kolb
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?

Danumurthi Mahendra
Lovely topic that I dont see alot. Nice progress!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Wow, what a beautiful an clean build! Inspiring and masterly!

Cuajete
That Alclad gloss coated looks great with the brush, Thomas 👍

Thomas Kolb
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.

Made a start on the 1/32 Trumpeter F4F-4 Wildcat, I'm having my wings permanently folded, this is just all dry fitted so far, I'll add more detail later when the wing is added. No point cleaning up the inside part of the wing of ejection holes, as this will be hidden behind the wing. Think it looks ok so far.

Ian Doody
So today I've semi painted up the other sides wing root fold system. And started dry fitting the engine. Need to pick a scheme from the Techmod decals at some point, thinking of 1 or 4 so far.

Ian Doody
Ooh landing gear and engine support structure. Just needs a few touchups, thats it done for now, have to glue it all up straight away, doing it later would be a pain in the ass. Looks ok, I'm no expert on these things. Just for fun build in-between other stuff.

Ian Doody
I think, as an engine that'll do really, don't need anymore detail on it. Couldn't see it if it was there anyway. I'll paint the rear bank of cylinders, but that's probably it.

Ian Doody
That's all for today, making the most of what you get in the kit, only added bits of wire, no sense going mad with detailing parts you wont see. Prop tomorrow, finish the rear bank of Cylinders, and make a start on the cockpit. Looking nice so far, looks like an engine to me.

Ian Doody
Engine, exhaust manifold system and front bulkhead done. For what you can see, the kit parts are good enough. No point spending lots of money on a resin engine. Just some wire and a bit of paint.

Rui S
Looking special 👍 I'm in 😎

Guy Rump
Looking good and detailed build notes, following. 👍

Mr James
Very nice tri colour camo paint job 👌 The weathering is expertly done with subtle scratches and wear and tear. An excellent build 👏

Shane Hodgetts

Neuling

Great paint job and weathering 👍 It deserves a base 🤔
