Valerons Arma Hobby Yakovlev Yak-1B 1/72

I've added on all the extra bits, finished painting and applied a clear gloss coat from a rattle can.

I'll probably start on decals tomorrow.
Putting all the wheel parts in place was very fiddly and caused me to walk away in frustration on numerous occasions. Took me about 3 days elapsed days in total but probably only a few hours actual work.

I've added the decals and given a second gloss coat. The decals went on quite easily.

Arma provide double the amount of decals for all the small ones, plus an extra cockpit one. This is a nice touch. Luckily I didn't need any extra ones for the outside of the aircraft but I previously used the second cockpit one as I destroyed the first one with my clumsy ways.

Next stage is to apply washes and weather etc and also try my first ever attempt at adding an antenna line (well 2 actually). I'll be using the thread I got from John.

That's coming on nicely Mark and sorry for the delay in looking at it! I always struggle with antenna wire. I use spare fishing line and paint it black.

Keep up the good work!

I'm calling this one done. I post some better photos later in the completed section.

It was a fun build and I added my first ever antenna wires to a model which I'm pleased with.
