Worked on the Yak engines yesterday, another Putty Party ahead....
Top side of the engine aligned...
Bottom side of the engine... with a gap..
So you either sort things from one end or the other... for engine #2 I will try a different technique... I will trim and resize the interior components to see if it fits a little better... well it can't be much worse.

This Yak is giving you a real fight... Yup... I have a little more patience these days... a few years ago this one would be making a one way flight to the bin
Well, I still have another version Yak-27 P and 6 Yak-28 to make so.. I'm waiting patiently for HobbyBoss or Trumpeter to start making these in 1/72 scale.. they made 2 versions in 1/48th.. I'm guessing they are waiting for me to build these A-Model kits to release them

Small update,
Idler and sprocket for Tristar Panzer 38(t) E/F got some paint, another coat tomorrow and I can't wait to put some tracks on the little guy.
A-Model Yak-27 K-8, putty on engine #1, after drying I will clean it up a little better.
Academy Magach 7, First coat of paint on the wheels,
this will be a 3 tone Camo, using these:
Meng's Panther A , I need to drill some holes on these parts first
Wheels are ready, tomorrow I might touch up the Rubber Black where is needed and maybe some more filters & washes.
Stay tuned for more updates soon and thanks for the support !!

Hi everyone !! I've been having working a little on some builds, Yak-27 engine is 90% fixed. Adding the seats on A-Model K-5 and the cockpit too. Tomorrow I hope to get some photos because I'll be working on a few builds.
Hope everyone is well !

Some work on Meng's Panther A ,
All wheels are painted. Holes drilled on the fenders and turret too. Lower Hull with a little wash and filters, most of it won't be seen with tracks, fenders and skirts.
I will put the wheels on soon and will start the tracks.
Academy M60 with Legend's Magach 7 Conversion, added some more resin parts, I still have to put some wires and the plastic kit parts.

Yes, I've been a little busy and also lazy to start working on the tracks (Panther, Panzer 38 and Bradley ), something I didn't miss about modelling are those link by link tracks with 3 or 4 connections to clean up ... but everything is ok here.

Lifecolor paints are good. Not bought the pigments though. Any good?

Just added the wheels on the Panther. Of course, I forgot the arms were painted so I had some issues putting them on, I broke one of the arms. it's fixed, I will have to touch a little paint. Tracks will be next.
