Derek B Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Very impressive Nenad. Your Yak-3 has come out astonishingly well. Since Duxford (in the UK) had resatored and now regularly fly their own Yak-3, I am becoming more and more attracted to the performance of this little fighter...it is very impressive to watch. All three models look fantastic. I like the use of viynal masks, they work well. Thank you for sharing this with us. Best regards Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
