Hello everybody,

Long time I haven't been posting here.
My last effort, the Yak 3, a real fine kit, builds like a dream and finely detailed OOB.

Just used the Begemoth decal sheet.

Comment and remarks most welcome

Stef,
Welcome back,
Your Yak 3 really looks like a rock solid build. Camo paint scheme and decaling are just about perfect. Your weathering has that "used but not abused" look to it, which is what most aircraft from that period should look like in my humble opinion.

Really a well done model.
Joel

Thanks a lot Terri and Joel, glad you like it.

It was a fun and quick build, next in the row probably the Eduard Mk.IX.

Best,

Hi Stef,

Very nice indeed!

I like those paint schemes with red nose. My next Yak-3 will be similar for sure...

All the best,
