Landing gear bay lining
Here is the main landing gear bay after the lining is inserted. Same technique as used in the Yak 19 and Yak 30 models.
Insert the lining folded with light glue on the mating surfaces in the fuselage and wing, unfold and glue in place. Isaac

Both Florida builds compared
Here are the pictures of both the Yak 19 and Yak 25 models that I built while on the road in Florida last month. So far I have not built them further since I got home, but will do so soon.
These pictures show how similar both planes are and points the main differences in the tail. I plan to build the wheels, landing gears and canopies all at the same time for all 3 Yaks in progress. I will post this same set of photos with the Yak 19 so the progress is shown in both threads Isaac

Going home and packing up the models
Here is a picture of my inspirational view at the place I stayed. Very quiet place ( no , I did not play golf ! )
and I packed up both models and my supplies in one clear plastic bin for the drive home. It was nice to build while on the road . Isaac

Wheels
The wheels were made for all 3 Yak's I am building and here are the steps as shown in my Yak 30 thread
http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/667777-post38.html I used a circle cutter on card stock and cut out multiple circles Stack the disks to width and glue to each other. Drill a hole in the center, mount on my mini lathe and using sanding sticks, sand the wheels to shape. ready for painting by inserting a squashed tooth pick to be used as a spindle and then paint them all glue the hubs in place. A note: this is my preferred method of making wheels, and there are others Isaac

Landing gear
The struts of the Yak 25 landing gear is the same as the Yak 30, so I made my own as apposed to the kit's parts which were a bit too complicated for the task.
Here they are initially with the wheels attached adjust to length as needed and measure the ground to wingtip distance. Glue in place using Superglue add more finishing touches Nose gear and glued in place all 3 gears are on add the doors ( I still have to install the two belly doors ) and the plane is on its gear now.
