I also plan to build a Yak-11. Only the scale will be bigger - 1/48. I will be glad to follow your build and get inspiration.

What paint scheme did you choose for your plane?

David Lengyel
Thanks gents!

@Ludvík Kružík: I'm building the first fighter plane of the LSK-NVA (East German Air Force). The paint is Yakovlev factory default - overall blue-grey.

The East German national emblems are interesting and not often seen on models. I am curious how they will look on your model.

File too big, maybe?

No doesn't works with a 164kb picture…

A builds of firsts, my first Helicopter and first use of 3D decals. Turns out the kit was originally a HobbyBoss kit and looks great nice details and combination of fine panel lines and rivets where need, I have high hopes for this build. 🤞

Coming along nicely. That 3D interior set looks beautiful.

Cheers #Villiers, the 3d decals are fantastic and really elevate the tubs to a new level.

First real issue with the kit is the fit of the main body, it does not want to join easily and I can find a cause but most can be fixed by gluing a small section at a time and working down the body.
However the bottom section is far too narrow for the kit bottom part, creating large hangovers. This may suggest the bandy has a warp in it but this is modelling not assembly.
I've added a stretcher of sprue to force the side apart hopefully this will help and not cause more issues later.

Another sort of issue although a little troublesome rather than true issue.
The instruction contain a couple of templates for both inner and outer glass masks (a great idea I wish more kits had). However they are way under scale, I resorted to old skool and used Tamiya tape and fresh blade with bright light behind (phone light 😁) and cut my own.
While right this it occurs to me they may be 1/72 scale and were not rescaled to 1/48 will check later.

It was not a Hobbyboss kit. It was a Special Hobby kit.

A new hope… 🙂
