Thanks Paolo, that's the main reason I stuck him in there. I've always been impressed with size of this bird.

There were things other than exhaust that came out of those openings. Radials being oilier than inlines, they blew a fair amount of smoke and heat. Spyro's portrayal could be considered somewhat exaggerated, but it 'could' have been the result of some prior damage in the engine/engine area. ...and then there's artistic license

Very nice Paolo -
I'm a lousy figure painter too Rich. I used to brush paint the whole figure. With this one I put the guy together then primed , then painted the whole figure the tan suit color. My hands aren't as steady as they used to be so I did the details with colored pencils , sometimes dipped in water. Other details were applied with some very tiny fine tipped brushes I have. There was plenty of painting , booboo, painting to fix the booboo, another booboo, round and round Find whatever you can with a fine pointed tip, doesn't have to be a brush and apply small amounts at a time. Don't be frightened, jump in. (this from a rookie figure painter. We need folks like williamj and others here who do super figures, to show us how it's done).

Those were dive bombing aids. Your height and distance aside of the target before you dived dictated which line to use. I 'think' that the higher you were, the farther out the correct stripe was used.

Hi Paul, I think it may be a reference re the padding that was usually on the seat. Sometimes it was black ... Though these are not wartime photos, they may represent what was .

Yak-9T – René CHALLE – Régiment Normandie-Niemen – ICM 1/32
MikeMaben replied to Furie's topic in Works in Progress
Hi Denis , that hole is likely a lift jack tube. A tube on the bottom of the frame that they slide a rod thru and use the ends of the rod to hold the tail up during gun sighting. Not that it matters. They may have sealed them.
