Horizontal fins and elevators
The horizontal stabilizer is simple, but has separate control surface which I like allot.
Here are the parts sub assemblies and the internal simple structure. Fins are glued on. and now add the rudders and the elevators ( slight deflection ) Isaac

Here is the model so far
I took the model to our IPMS local club meeting today. I also brought the 1/72 scale plastic model I built years ago. I will post pics of both later on as well. Isaac

Wing structure
Here are the parts
assemble one side only. The plan is to insert the three spars thru the fuselage and then assemble the other side. Insert thru fuselage Yeh, right !!!!!!!!!! Mission impossible. The spars could not be aligned properly and finally bent and broke pieces ( after all it is flimsy card and not metal or wood ). Plan B is to save the structure, but add three wood dowels as thru members in the fuselage ( I used super glue for that task ). insert the dowels thru now attach the other wing structure and assembled view. lastly, I added some smoothing strip on the parts. Isaac

Wings
The wings are simple construction. There is an inner section, outer section and separate ailerons with their housings.
I have no idea why the designer separate the wing sections as there is no transition nor is it needed to fit on one page. Anyhow.... The parts folded over the leading edge add a clear plastic lens for the landing lights here is the partial wing assembly dry fit to fuselage here is the aileron wing tip has a partial printing. It will show up a little inside the wing tip landing gear bays. dry fit again. wings are now glued on. Not my best fit though. I should have sanded the inner structure smoother and then added the inner strips to make sure it is smooth. ( there are no wing fillets in this model ). Isaac

Status pics- wings on
Now that our paper exhibition in Dayton is over,
Dayton Ohio 2019 paper get together I can post a few pictures of the Yak with the wings attached. The lower left attachment fit is not the best, however, once the engine nacelle is on, it will not be seen. I do have a few more distractions before I continue this build, so stay tuned. Isaac

Great work on the wings Isaac. They looked quite difficult with those spars. You did a very nice recovery job.

Guns
The gun fairings are best installed now before the engines go on for ease of assembly and access.
I used a small diameter dowel glued to the fuselage to position and give it shape. Isaac

Errata - Nose modification needed
I need to modify the nose RADOM to more correctly represent the actual plane. Thanks to eagle eyed modeler that brought it to my attention ( Yoav ).
the change is minor, but visible to those that know. Here is a side by side next to my 1/72 scale model in plastic of the same plane and a side view schematic. The corrective measure is for me to modify the vacuform plug and make a new nose... however, that will have to wait as I am trying to salvage the existing plug. I will continue the model construction in the meantime. Isaac

Isaac,
I'm obviously not an eagle eyed modeler, because I thought that you did a great job on the nose. Gary

I did do a great job on the nose. However, the side view shape needs modification. Slight one though to be correct. I can leave it as is or improve it later on. Isaac
