But no 1/32 stuff since 2013, best part of 10 years?

Well, IK-3 is still available, and few projects i  produce (YAK-3) , develop or consider, were kitted in meantime, in plastic or resin.

Investment  in RTV and resin, not mentioning research and master parts producing are now significant and i chose not to gamble with big numbers.
But still have some 1/32 projects  researching , maybe Ikarus IK-2 will be the one, to pair with IK-3.

RGDS and all the best in 2022.

Still a nice collection of kits. Your Yak-3 still compares well to the styrene kit. Not bad for a cottage manufacturer compared to a much larger company backed by another modelling company :punk:

Do you remember what kind of ochre/sand color you have used for your IK-2 and IK-3 builds? I have some interwar czech aircraft in the stash still looking for an ochre/sand paint that meets the czech color. A hint about the green and brown and the underside grey would be welcome too. Don't know if there was a connection in real life, but the yugoslav camouflage looks a lot like what was the common paint job of interwar czech AF.

Thanx Dutik for the comments,

Regarding IK-3 / IK-2 colours, despite looks close to Czech range of three colour schemes , they are different, in fact, even IK-2 colours differ from IK-3 colours.

Ikarus factory ( IK-2) use british paints in their manufacture process while Rogožarski (IK-3) use  localy produced  paints from Reichhold Flugger & Boecking Belgrade factory.
I build Avia B-35 Legato kit long time ago and remember that i used different shades , not the ones i use for IK-3.

For this AVIA B-35.1 build i find FS595a paint numbers in great MBI book Avia B-35 B-135 by Bily/Bernad/Kučera  ISBN 80-86524-03-5 

Ochre  FS 16160

Green  FS 34097

Brown FS 30040

Gray   FS 16376

I do not remember exactly what colours i used in this build, but they was from Humbrol, Revell and Model Master range, i commonly use.

Hope with these FS you will find adequate model paints for your builds.
