Jon's 1/48 Eduard Limited Edition Yak-1b

[jbellos1]

Here is the final reveal of a little project I took on to see what this cute little plane kit was all about. So, in addition to the kit, I decided to get the upgrade set for it as well.



The paints were AKAN, Weathered with Ultimate Dark Dirt and Light Dirt washes and various other pigments. Added a few oil and fuel stains, and some slight exhaust smoke stains.


So, without further ado - I present my version of the Eduard 1/48 scale Limited Edition Yak-1b. I hope you like it.











































It was an Accurate Miniatures base kit and Eduard added PE, resin, and masks. The AMI kit was excellent with tight fits for most joins. There were a couple trouble areas, as with all kits, but overall, a great kit. I would highly recommend this kit for novice to advanced builders. Beginners may find it very challenging, especially the cockpit PE. If, on the other hand, you like a challenge, this is a decent kit to fill that need.

I thank you for taking the time to look.

Please take the time to comment if you like. And thanks again.

Keep modeling!
