Treehugger I guess you plan to add liquid glass to the windows. I've always wondered how that will work with oval windows on a rounded fuselage.

Łukasz Gliński I already experimented with Plasticart's Mercure and An-24V and I intend to do it in two phases: first to fill the windows at all (this part is drying right now and as I already learned it will be bit too deep) and then I plan to add second portion with a bit of excess to get it aligned with the fuselage.

Łukasz Gliński @Trehugger: I added one pic showing the end result of the liquid glass usage - not exactly flat, but I didn;t add the second layer actually. One window has a small bubble, but I decided to leave it as it is. I sealed the windows using multiple thin layers of GX gloss varnish.

Revaro decals dissapointed me a bit - the canopy frame had to be cut in half and the front ends of the sidebands overlapped each other, giving a dark blue shade. So I had to mix couple of Gunze paints to match the colour. I hope I managed to do it, but the result will be visible after varnishing only. Meanwhile I used this mix to spray the engines, but I have still to darken it a bit more.

Łukasz Gliński My Gunze H mix started to react with the surfacer underneath, so I was forced to paint the engines from scratch again. Currently Yak stands on its own wheels, while I work on thrust reversers (scratchbulit) and undercarriage details.

Alexander G. Nice work on this ancient kit

Łukasz Gliński Thanks, always wanted to build this one

Spanjaard nice!

Łukasz Gliński Thanks I hope to finish it around the next weekend.

Flop_Se Very nice progress so far!

Łukasz Gliński Thanks

Daniel Klink Love that camo

Cuajete Well done so far.

Łukasz Gliński @Daniel: me too I have couple of such projects in the queue (e.g. the Mossie & Mustang)
@ Cuajete: Gracias seńor

Łukasz Gliński Wash is drying (when will I find a perfectly dilluted wash that flows on its own? ). Next I need to correct the main antenna, clean the wash, add some smoke and streaks.

Cuajete

Łukasz Gliński Finished my friends. Hope you like the pics
I didn't install the antenna, cause not all Mk.IIcs have it and I wasn't sure. The fuselage roundel is probably located too high (most of 309th Hurries have it in lower place). And might be that it should be weathered more. That's all I think.
Moving on to P.7a.

komoras Nice Mig!

Anna @Lukasz - I mostly do 1:48 for aircraft, I've been looking at some Eduard boxings of -21s in that scale.

Łukasz Gliński @komoras - thanks a lot
@ Anna - I heard Eduard 21 in 1/48 is quite good, but 48 is completely not my story

Anna @Lukasz - I hear you. Sometimes I wish I had stayed with 1:72, just for reasons of space.

Calvin Gifford Sublime work! And thanks for sharing about the rocket launchers - I knew there was a reason I had picked up that Dragon 1/72 Soviet Weapons set

Łukasz Gliński Thx Calvin, the original ones are rather poor indeed

Alec K A classic! Nice job

Łukasz Gliński So true! Must have been green and orange

David Lengyel Revamped original from 70's.

Łukasz Gliński Looks like KP turned to revamping mode (I mean the L-159 Alca)
Hopefully they did it better than ZTS/Mastercraft.

Sebastijan Videc engraved detail closeups are pretty bad

David Lengyel I assume no one will actually release new tool kit, but this is waste of money. It's not like I don't have anything else to build.

Alexander G. MiG-17 and -19 in 1:72 are in desperate need for some new moulds. *cough*, Eduard? *cough*

Łukasz Gliński After seeing the Q-5 sprues my expectation was to see their Farmer soon. But who knows...

Jiri Vybihal I was really disapointed by latest production of new KP (Mig-23, L-159) so I´m not expecting this 19 will be great model but for me will be sufficiet if this one will have negative lines... Also I agree with Alxander G. *cough* Eduard could have catch this topic since they have Mig-15 *cough*

Flop_Se Nice and clean build so far!

Łukasz Gliński Spent last couple of weeks correcting the nose stripes (the decals are simply straight and the nose ... well, it's not!). What did I use? Brush and hands I consider it good enough (pics 34&35) and will move to the propellers next. In the meantime the white Vallejo colour got a bit dirty here and there, so I have to paint it over, but this time I'm gonna use the brush and Vallejo white.

Flop_Se In my opinion valejo white is not the best choice for large areas! But i'm confident you'll make a good job!

Łukasz Gliński Ordered the white stripes from Xtradecal to finish the rear finally, putting this on hold until the delivery.

Alberto Michieletto Very nice scratchbuild and buildibg!

Łukasz Gliński Thanks, would've been even better should I have avoided using Vallejo white...

Eugen P. One of my favorite Bizzer.

Łukasz Gliński Mine too That's why I didn't throw it into the bin yet
