SH 1/32 YAK 3 "Here to Berlin" Finished


Recommended Posts

It's update time still got to gloss the legs and wheel doors along with some weathering.Now guys I normally do not weather much at all but being a Russkie crate figured it needed some it's all done with MIG powders which Do Not dilute with a clear on top!!!So I had to pull out the turpentine and wipe her down some lesson learned what you apply is what you see when finished really a good thing.I am thinking Tuesday will be the finish date that's the day I go in for those eight needles in the back been a couple of tough days of late :huh:

I appreciate all the Nice comments like I said the crate kind of cried for some grime not great but acceptable ATTM. ;)

I'm in agreement.  Planes just don;t get too grimy.

I got some leg work done not much more guys the jabs to the spine went well today already feeling better will improve more in time.I had a chance this evening to plane some really really old wood and it was still rough cut at over a 100 years old.I have a buddy who has been commissioned to build the "Trojan" a three mast ship that visited Gulfport Harbor in 1902.The wood was for the base a no.1 grade Pine what is called pecky and some Cedar from a Catholic School in  New Orleans that was built in 1890 just Beautiful such a tight tight grain and I may be able get some!?

 

The ship just thought it might be of interest to some?

Be safe and I'll be thinking and praying of you. We had our first hurricane a week ago with Henri and were very lucky it  turned far enough east that we were spared the intensity of the storm. You're looking down the barrel of a Cat 4 Hurricane - and take all the precautions you can.

Keep 'em comin

Thks Guys can see with the response all went well 50% in the county lost power but not our area.I was more worried about tornado impacts but that was less also storm moved an extra 60miles to the W of what I anticipated for 30N which made the center 120M to my W instead of 60m big difference.This is a 150mph sounds like had 175mph at this place.
