Mickc’s 1/48 Academy Yak-1

Here’s my entry for the GB, I’m going to do one of the white camouflaged versions on skids. Never built a Russian plane or one in winter coat so here goes. The pilot is currently awol but I am assured he will be here before I button it up. Here’s the sprue pics.

A plane on skids....that's different Mick. Not sure I have ever seen one done.

I noticed the German markings. Was this captured and used by the Germans?

I’ve put a pic on now. Yes it was a captured one.

Off to a good start, only a couple of minor issues but easily solved. Cockpit on hold until the pilot shows up. Also included a pic of the undercarriage I’m using.

Postie delivered the pilot so all systems go.

Very nice Mick, it seems well detailed and should look good when painted :smiling3:
