Nothing too complicated here

Added nose weights
The single sinker I used in the initial build turned out to be insufficient. I needed to triple that weight by inserting two more.
so I cut out a small panel behind the nose gear and inserted the two balls wrapped in tissue and doused in CA instant glue.  I then printed out on thin paper a lower panel, cut out and glued in place.    Looks like clean surgery. Isaac

The Yak-23 looks great on her legs. Nice work on the surgery too.

Canopy
There is a vacuformed canopy available from GPM in Poland, so there is no need to make your own if you can order one, but I would if I had to!
: https://sklep.gpm.pl/akcesoria/1/33/jak-23-kabina Here it is  I decided to coat this canopy with Future floor polish which makes it brighter.  dip the canopy  lay it to dry  cover it to prevent dust settling onto it during drying  canopy ready  frames are on now   cut to shape  now finish the cockpit area and dry fit the canopy on  Glue the canopy on.    Isaac

Final build step
Here is the completed model.
Since it is a rendering of a prototype plane, it had no radio antenna mast. The only thing needed is to add the pitot tube to the left wing and the gun barrels ( which I will postpone).       glam pictures will follow. Isaac
