I have not seen any other posting of these MaksArt Yaks, so not sure if others build them or just collect them.
I like unusual and obscure early jet planes, and this is a good series. I would love to see more early Yaks available if he can design them.

As far as building on the road, as I said, those must be relatively easy kits to build since I can't carry all my tools and material with me . Also, they must be small enough to pack. I like it.

Here is the typical cockpit which this kit has common with minor changes to all 3 of his design. As noted before, it is not correct since the actual cockpit resides between the split air intake and is narrower. But or this model design it is OK.


The cockpit tub is then inserted from behind and glued in place.




I added small weight under the cockpit to make sure the model will sit on all 3 wheels when completed.



Here is the next section aft of the cockpit.

At this point all the fuselage sections are ready to join. Center to aft and then the forward section.


Here it is


and a bottom view. Note the center section glue seam is a bit offset. I had to do it in order to match the panel lines in front and back. Not sure if it is the kit design or me, but it makes no difference at this point.

Here are the parts of the fin and rudder



assemblies


notice the split rudder ( lower and upper )




now beef up the support on the rear fuselage


and glued on with the small fairing parts

Thank you

I am now in the process of going home, but I will post a bit more now.

over 3 week period, I managed to get the Yak 19 almost completed as well as the Yak 25 which I will post later on.

Here are the wing parts. Easy construction and separate control surfaces.



skin folded over the leading edge and glued along the back


The wing support structure is a plain card that incorporates the main gear landing gear bay section


glue the inner support in place



and the wing is now glued to the fuselage connected to the fuselage center section inner frame



both wings are now glued



That is all for now. The models are packed up and I will continue posting when I get home.

I am finally back home and now will continue this build write up.

I actually got this model to a point of about 90% finished while on the road ( you can build this model in a week if you wanted ).



Here is where the inner lining of the main gear bay will be inserted


wing root


and the ailerons/flap parts. For some reason the kit has it combined. I would have separated it now that I think about it and have better reference information.



installed

The design provides for the inner lining of the main gear bay. I found it easier to fold it, apply glue to the inner fuselage and wing framing and then insert it while unfolding it inside and pressing to glue it in place.

the landing gear configuration graphics will be used later
