Lee White Posted September 29, 2008 Author Posted September 29, 2008 This will be a good build to watch: I've always liked the -38 since I read The Torch... Does this build mean the Vulcan is on a back-burner? Hi The Vulcan is moving along slowly, but the Yak-38 is shaping up nicely. The fuselage is mostly carved and shaped, and I'm trying to find a way to post pics, as my computer crashed,and I now have to post with my cell phone. As soon as I can post pics, I will. Lee
Lee White Posted September 30, 2008 Author Posted September 30, 2008 Well, it looks like the cmputer problem MIGHT be solved- I'm online, but the broadband is going very slow, so, something still isn't right. I'm going to try to upload some photos- first of the laminated wood cut to profile, and another of the molds partially sanded to shape.
Loic Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 WOW! Looking great Lee. C'est vraiment du beau travail Cheers, Loic
Loic Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Looks impressive Lee. I think you are doing great stuff here. Cheers, Loic
stusbke Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Looks impressive Lee.I think you are doing great stuff here. Cheers, Loic agreed nice update may I ask how you get you balse so fine do you also use verry fine grade sanding paper to get to that finisch, becasue I tried to make me canopy shape master form and I just didn't succeed in getting an all round smooth finisch on it any pointers?? I find this too a verry cool subject to build once Greetz STB Frederick Jacobs
Jack Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Hi Lee, seems the master/tutor/scratch-guru struck again with this one, looking very promising.. And indeed like the others pointed out, keep us informed on techniques and such, it is very inspiring for us all i think to follow this build up to the finish. Happy modeling my friend, J
Lee White Posted October 16, 2008 Author Posted October 16, 2008 Hi everyone, logging in on my wife's computer- Loic, thank you for the kind words. I have not written as life, as usual, has gotten very busy! I will practise some, and hopefully you wil be able to understand it!! Stusbke- Hi, yes I used progressivley finer grades of sandpaper, but if you need a really smooth surface, i would recommend coating the mold with thick CA and sanding it down immediately. this will give a smooooooth mold for you. I hope this helps! Jack! Very good to hear from you. did you ever get my response to your OV-10/Charger query? long story short, I do plan to do the Charger soon, but probably noy the Bronco again, at least not in the near future. Thanks all for your kind words of encouragement!!! Lee

KOTR Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Awsome work on the Yak. I love it... ...you wouldn't accidentally pull a copy of the fuselage for me?

Lee White Posted November 13, 2008 Author Posted November 13, 2008 Hey everyone- I'm in need of a K-36 seat for the yak, and was wondering if anyone had a trumpy k-36 that they were not gonna use having used an aftermarket one in their mig or su-27 please IM me with costs, etc. Thanks! Lee
Lee White Posted December 3, 2008 Author Posted December 3, 2008 Her are a few update pics- I've been able to squeeze out a few hours here and there between jobs- I suppose i should be grateful to be working, but the hours..... Uff Da!
Lee White Posted December 3, 2008 Author Posted December 3, 2008 here are the airframe parts taped together to check fit- not great, but not bad, either. starting to look like a yak!
