I wrapped the weight with paper tissue and then used CA glue to securely to the card frame

Thanks Don.

I think adding context to the model being built adds to the experience.

I will perform a minor surgery a bit later to add more nose weight.

Exclamation Landing gear bays installation

A bit of a reverse here.

Before joining the fuselage halves, it is preferred to install the landing gear bays in the fuselage wing stubs.


Here it is:

Exclamation Tail

I added two strips of wood to the vertical frame to support the horizontal thru spar.

and glued on.

The root fillets will be applied after the wings are attached.

Nice work Isaac. The kit is coming together quite nicely.


I was quite puzzled when I first looked at the kit and saw the size of the cut-out in the V Stab former that was used to support the H. Stab. I love you idea of using the wood for strength.

Exclamation Wings

The spar is a box construction that is wrapping the stub spar on the fuselage.

Here they are glued on. Make sure the cutout for the main gear is aligned.

The wings are one piece.
Yak-23 Flora repaint by MacSongLi-img_1586.jpgYak-23 Flora repaint by MacSongLi-img_1587.jpg

Glued on. Again make sure the landing gear cutouts in the wings are aligned.
