Petal nose on one I made is done entirely with petals.Because it's so large it was actually pretty easy.One in your kit looks harder.

Btw-is this Yak the last pure gun equipped bomber interceptor Russians had?i'm not sure if Mig-19 was an interceptor from the start,rocked equipped Mig-17 PM and Mig-19PM definitely were but F models I think were frontline fighters.
I personally hate petal design and rarely use it. So yes, i will modify for this model especially because it is large and prominent


And yes, the Mig 19 was an interceptor. Early models were only gun equipped. Only the PM versions carried 4 radar guided missiles which were useless.
