Title: Yak and LaGG Series GB
Post by: Second Air Force on October 12, 2012, 04:27:42 PM: Time to start something that has been in the unbuilt pile for a significant time. I purchased two or three ICM Yaks some time ago so it's time to build one. This is a T/DD/K variant with a few optional parts:

Here are the parts trees on the drying towel. There is a lot of mold release on my sample that was washed off with soap and water:

Decal sheet that I robbed from for my VVS Airacobra last year:

Post by: Second Air Force on October 12, 2012, 06:11:08 PM: Thanks, mates!

I'm no expert on the Yak series but the kit looks pretty nice to me. I may use a few bits from the Accurate Miniatures Yak-1 to enhance this a little, but it will mostly be out-of-box. The only true "drawback" in here (to my eye, anyway) is that they molded the canopy in one piece.

Post by: Second Air Force on October 13, 2012, 09:46:20 PM: I had much spare time yesterday so it was possible to get this Yak to this point:
(http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w117/2AF/IMG_0864.jpg)

As a familiar method, I am using this first kit as a kind of "practice" for later builds of the same family of kits. When I dug into it I found that the cockpit is really rather basic. I added a few details with wire and styrene bits, but not to an extreme. When assembling the interior and fuselage halves there was a small problem with the cockpit floor. After filing the sides of it down a bit everything slotted together. I also decided to glue the open cowling panels on and this took a small amount of filing to get a snug fit. Fitting the wing to the fuselage was no problem at all with just a bit of filler needed on the lower aft interface with the fuselage. It's quite a simple, straightforward model to build, really.

Title: Re: ICM Yak-9 1/48
Post by: Second Air Force on October 15, 2012, 04:33:57 PM: I only have four kits! ;) However.........there are a lot of extra decals in that Yak-9 sheet. :-tri

There are a nice variety of subjects for the Yak series so a big collection is certainly possible. It's too bad that more photos don't exist of this interesting Air Force.

Title: Re: ICM Yak-9 1/48
Post by: Second Air Force on October 17, 2012, 07:21:15 PM: Here is the Yak-9 "practice" build. This is quite a simple kit (not unlike the real machine) and could have benefitted with some scratchbuilding. I did cut the canopy open and made a new sliding portion. I still enjoyed building it and it helps me with planning for the next one. The ICM decals were used, but be warned if you desire to use these kit decals. They are VERY thin and are rather brittle. I cleared the sheet with varnish to help the brittleness, but they still require an extremely long time soaking in water before they come free from the backing paper. Once they were ready to apply they went on absolutely beautifully--no silvering whatsoever and they snuggled down very well.

Title: Re: Yak Series GB
Post by: Second Air Force on October 19, 2012, 07:14:24 PM: That is looking very nice, No.1! I especially like the fit you obtained with the side cowlings.

I've decided I liked doing the first one so much that the trainer should be started:
(http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w117/2AF/IMG_0903.jpg)
The -7V has a small bit more cockpit detail than the -9 has, including the nice structural basket as separate parts. One helpful hint for anyone building the fixed-gear trainer--install the landing gear well covers before you glue the upper wing panels on. I didn't do this and it is making the fitment of the covers a little bit more difficult.

Also, for lack of a better place to put this build, here is my LTD LaGG-3 under construction:
(http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w117/2AF/IMG_0900.jpg)
This kit isn't very high-tech but I still think it will be a nice display model with some extra work. It's typical of the short-run LTD kits, and since I have sucessfully built two other kits from this manufacturer, I decided to attack this one now. :-bat

Here's a little progress on the two-seater. Notice in the underside photo that ICM includes the landing gear well covers for my fixed gear version. These fit very tightly after a tiny bit of sanding around the edges:

They'll be mounted on an airplane in my next update.....

Post by: Second Air Force on November 12, 2012, 09:08:33 PM: Thanks, y'all!

Here are a few more photos of my latest Soviet projects, as promised.

First, the LaGG-3. This LTD kit was a little bit of a challenge, being engineered as a short-run kit, but it still built up without too many pitfalls. Much easier than a vacuform or full-resin kit but it's probably less refined than the later ICM kit. I used my own skis with various spares box bits to attach them to the landing gear spindles. The tailwheel assembly with skid came from the ICM Yak-7V. Also the bomb racks and bombs are from an ICM Yak. I had one photo only of this machine, showing to good advantage the very odd partial winter camouflage application.
(http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w117/2AF/IMG_0984.jpg)
(http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w117/2AF/IMG_0975.jpg)

(http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w117/2AF/IMG_0976.jpg)

Now the Yak trainer, pretty much right from the ICM box. This is a straightforward build except for the wing root intakes which are not molded open. These took some time and drilling to open. Other than that, just a few little detail bits in the cockpits and scratchbuilt sliding canopy segments. The Polish decals came from the Yak-9 decal sheet from earlier build, and the numeral 4 from spares box. I must also mention that this is not finished--after clear varnish was applied I realized that I'd reversed the insignia on the right vertical fin!! :-wall :-wall :-wall :-/......and I didn't have a spare here. So, other decals are coming via post office. Also I knocked the aft right exhaust stack loose during the photo shoot. :-roll I'll fix my errors and post a photo of the corrected machine later.

Oh, not too fast......this has been assembled for eight weeks, but no time or energy to work on it. :-/ I finished work on the seams only yesterday because I was going to prime parts of the 262 also.

Again, this is pretty much out-of-box ICM kit with kit decals for the most part. This Yak-9K really does look like a tank-killer with that huge 45 MM cannon sticking out of the spinner!
