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

(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 😉

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. 😉

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

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. 👍

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?

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.

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!

Where did you get the snow from in August? I know it's up north, but still... 😉

I don't understand how more skilled modellers have multiple sets that they're working on at once. Like don't you have a budget? Don't you have other things to do? Don't you have a job to go to??? I build like one model every other, sometimes every month.

Wait until you hear about the stash sizes of some modellers. 😄
When I was a kid, kits used to be cheaper, so even with my pocket money I could afford to buy a small kit every week or two.
Obviously everyone's budget is different, but some people do have a lot of spare cash to spend on modelling, going from pocket money to a wage makes kits a lot more affordable (if you're lucky). Some of the members are retired and can build kits all day if the want to, the oldest one I know is 83 and still producing decent quality models.
I retired early and usually do other stuff in the mornings and then have a one or two hours in the afternoon to mess around with plastic. I only ever work on one model at a time, other people prefer to jump between builds to keep themselves interested.
Generally, modelling is a lot cheaper than some other hobbies.

Oh well congrats on an early retirement gorby
I guess yeah models were cheaper in the 70-80's due to inflation
And power to the 83 year old building models
But yeah i guess scale modeling is cheaper than mountain biking or skydiving

Maybe I should have said "more affordable". Even taking inflation into account I think kits were priced mainly for kids. I'm not convinced they are aimed at the pocket money market now as most modellers are adults with a bigger budget. I suspect the 1/72 fighter kits I could afford in the 1970's are comparatively less affordable for kids these days.

I am not a great modeler and I am not productive at all. Turns out, I like scale modeling very much, but mostly when I am bored.
Turns out, even though I do like fixing kits and making improvements, I would rather have scale model kits requiring little to no fixing.
Slowly but surely, still I get more and more practice. A recent "halleluja" moment was when I learned about this thinner mix for my Vallejo paints, using an airbrush, no more tip dry, also learned to use both my 0.35 (better for putting paint onto intricate details) and my 0.5 airbrush guns (so much more paint flow).
My kit stash size is starting to get rediculous. I also like investing into new tools, something I couldn't do before, couldn't afford it.
There seems to be some people, other than me, putting together and seemingly frequently completing very nice ship models, even including some ocean diorama, most impressive. 🙂
Some people seem willing to spend a lot of money on aftermarket parts, I can't justify doing that beyond some limit. I can't buy a large amount of 3d crew figures for a 1:350 ship, beyond some amount, it just seems way too expensive.
