Following! Good luck!

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!

Michael Kohl
Following too

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.

Guy Rump
Looking great, following. 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Great result Thomas - 👍

Thomas Kolb
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!

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

Roland Sachsenhofer
Wonderful and inspiring! Great work!!

Neuling
Top result! Beautiful photos!

Robert Podkoński
Great job, Thomas! Fantastic photos.

Alec K
Well done Thomas 👍

DuperScale
Lovely result, very clean build. 👍

Guy Rump
Great result, congrats! 👍

Nicolas
A lovely little bird. 👍

Ekki
Excellent work!

Curatorm
Exquisite model! Very good work.

S M
The short-run-kit looks really difficult to work with, but you have mastered it. Top model!

Bruce Huxtable
Top results for sure. All your care paid dividends 🙂

Thomas Kolb
Dear modeler mates, thank you for your compliments! I sure appreciate your kindness!

Cuajete
Wow...!!! Very nice job. Fantastic result... Great!
Congrats, Thomas 👌

Bernhard Pethe
Wer braucht den andere Hersteller, wenn es Amodel gibt! Einfach das Beste aus dem Bausatz gemacht, was möglich ist. 🙂

Thomas Kolb
Bernhard, es ist eine Herausforderung, aber genau das macht den Spaß aus!

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat, of course!
(Perhaps the transparencies and propellers from this kit would work:
Soviet Tu-2 Bomber (HobbyBoss 80298, 1:72))

Thomas Kolb
Thank you Robert! The three-bladed standard propellers in the kit are actually fine, it is the transparencies I am a bit worried about.

Łukasz Gliński
Me 2, must watch this - wondering how good/bad this kit is

Dave Flitton
Watching!!

J35J
Me 3, this will be another great build to follow.

Cuajete
Me 5!
I still don't understand why they haven't released a more updated tool for this model yet.

Moreno Baruffini
Thomas, you are a specialist in reminding me the models I started and non finished (yet)! Super inspiring, and a great build to follow for sure!

Thomas Kolb
Dear friends, thank you for your interest. I am a bit curious myself how this model will turn out - I have read some pretty nasty things about it in reviews, but I am not sure it's so bad. It certainly looks very intricately designed, not your usual shake 'n' bake kit for sure.

Gergő Takács
Thomas, you are doing always the same project what I want to do in the future with the same kits. 😀 I'm always taking a seat and save your work for motivation.

Finn
I'm in

Łukasz Gliński
Thomas, your tutorial is priceless! 👍

Mr D

Big fan of soviet n russian stuff, will have to look up history on this one as new to me.
Interesting subject, Nice 😁

Cuajete
Good start, Thomas. Thank you so much for your tutorial 👍
