Mistral Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Here's a build which has been going for a long time and is now complete - Special Hobby's Yak-3. I really liked this model. Yes, some challenging fit issues but nothing that good old elbow grease cannot sort out. The kit detail is really nice. I added the Yahu instrument panel (which is superb) and some seat belts. Otherwise all OOB : daveculp, D Bellis, aircare84 and 20 others 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistral Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Forgot, I did add resin exhausts - from Quick Boost if I recall. Kit decals went down like paint with MiG two part decals set/sol.

Mistral Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 I'm amazed at how small the Yak-3 was compared to the Bf 109 and Fw 190. Apparently it gave both types a run for their money ! I've started to use these - the best thing since sliced bread - they provide the modeller with the ability to impart a really random blotchy appearance to the paint finish. Well worth the investment : And my first use of AK acrylics - I'm not a big fan of acrylics but saw this set at one of our model meets and bought it as they were the correct colours for the Yak-3 - I think the colours are spot on : LSP_Kevin, Dart_Schatten, Kagemusha and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
