Rui S
I'm in 😎

James C
Welcome Rui 🙂

gorby
Niiiice! Not seen one of these built before.

James C
Thanks Gorby 🙂

It's a nice kit and being 1/16 scale is larger than a 1/35 scale King Tiger. Plenty of plastic for your $$$

gorby
I think Britain is too small to build 1/16 kits. 😄
(My budget certainly is). 😄

Kees Borgers
Looking good , i will follow.

James C
Thanks Kees 🙂

Robin (WhiteGlint)
A big small tank! Count me in. 👀
Looking good James. 👍

James C
Thanks mate 🙂

Have since added a little paint chipping (back to the grey base coat), and applied the decals etc which are going to take a few applications of Micro Sol to settle down over the turret details. Will update the album when there is a little more to see.

Gary Curling
Love the tracks

James C
Thanks Gary 🙂

Cooler weather temps have slowed progress this last week but paintwork has been sealed and the decals are done now.
Ready to make a proper start on the weathering and dirtying it up a bit ahead of final assembly.

gorby
Very nice weathering.

Gary Curling
I wish i could push the like button again and again.

James C
Thanks Gorby & Gary 🙂

Am hoping to knock it off in the next day or so.

James C
A "light tank" of the German Afrika Corps WWII. Something that our Kiwi troops (NZ Division) would "butt heads" with frequently during the early years of the war. But, given it's light armour and lack of a main shell firing gun... quickly became obsolete when the Allies (including NZ) pulled their finger out and put bigger and better tanks on the field. I have a ton of respect for these German crewmen.

gorby
Very impressive result.

Neuling
Excellent paintwork and weathering. You´ve done the big scale justice in every way!

Pepe
Nice job!!!

Rui S
I agree with Neuling. Top work 👍

James C
Thanks guys 🙂

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Great work James. A big model of a small tank.

Patryk S.
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 👍

Treehugger
Final model looks like it might perhaps be heavy, can the landing gear handle the weight?

jan zumack
He treehugger, i tested the legs with 2kg per leg, i hope it is enough. If its not i drill in a seperat roundsteel to Catch the weight.
