My first thread move.
So, from the top................
With many paint schemes for the B and M versions of the Yak 1, I figured it should be a quick modification and then a repaint in something a bit more interesting.
So after a bit of cut - file - sand it's ready for paint
Undercoat primer applied, second 12.7mm port closed over and the undersurface blue applied.
Have settled on this design for the repaint.
Maybe Toyama could do a card for this pilot?
Somehow I don't think I'll be painting the eagle insignia; may be just a little small and intricate for my painting skills

It's hard to find a nice dynamic drawing of this specific Yak-1b and even harder to find any info about the pilot.
Whaddayathink?
What do I think?
Excellent Toyama. The speed at which you produce cards astounds me.
Thank you, this one is great (just like all the others by the way.....)
With the Boomerang just about finished and the Spitfires stalled due to decal issues, the Yak is next in line. A quick shot of light grey over the nose to check the puttywork on the starboard 12.7mm port and undercoat for the red.
On the weekend I got the red nose painted and masked, and the green base done.
Masking for the black is on and paint on later tonight.
