A mixture of resin, PE and plastic used to put the internals of the Yak 7 together. Main interior paint used Vallejo Model Air A-28M Greyish Blue. 🙂

You're very welcome Patryk! 👍

This is a kit that does not seem to have any parts that fit together.... after cutting the cockpit area down (because it was too big) I glued the fuselage together which was awkward in itself. The nose cover, as can be seen in the photo required heaps of sanding. The wing halves don't go together so lots of filler required. 🙁

Many thanks Gustavo F for your interest and like. 👍

Very interesting subject and brave to work on Valom. I tried their kit before but wasn't happy how it came out. Following

After a lot of sanding and filling, the wings have been fitted to the fuselage and the tailplane added. 🙂

Many thanks Djordje for your comment. This is my first Valom kit and not impressed so far!! Hopefully something acceptable will be put together. 👍

I now declare this one as completed. My first Valom kit which was a trial in itself! Very little fits, the final bit I was going to do was the transparency on the wing but to no avail. In the end I used transparency glue to simulate a transparency. 🙂

Valom kits aren't easy and you did a great job. Love the colors. P.S: don't forget to paint the port wing light green!
