Vacuforming the canopy
The vacuforming will produce canopies common to the Yak 19, 25 and the 30. The only difference is that the Yak 25 and the 30 have a wider fuselage, but this canopy will still fit them as well.
Here is the full article on the vacuforming process http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/670282-post40.html and the canopy as vacuformed  all 3 canopies done.  Isaac

Canopy on
The canopy frame of the Yak 25 is a bit different, but very similar to the Yak 19.
Here it is installed.    Isaac

At this point the Yak 25 model is 99% complete and I can stop here. There are addition tip tanks, but those will be built a bit later.
For now here is the model        Isaac

however this is a first designation of a Yak 25.  Read the first posting of this thread.http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/666290-post1.html You probably recognize the second use of the Yak 25 designation which is a 2 engine mid swept wing aircraft  The Soviets were notorious in reusing the same designations for different jets.

There were 2 different planes with the Yak-25 designation. This is the first one from 1947.
It's not the only example of that sort of thing. See also the Su-9 and Su-11 from 1946-1947 which had a configuration similar to the Me-262 or Nakajima Kikka. They're no Fishpots. That's a great build Isaac!

Isaac,
This is another fantastic build. On a difficulty scale of 1 to 5, how would you rate this kit (apart from the vacuforming)? Thanks, Gary

Thank you Isaac.
I really do love these early Soviet jets, they are magnificent. You did another amazing job. Thank you for all of the detailed photos and explanations. Gary
