Lovely work Jeff. An oddly put together kit though by the looks of it.
Cheers,
Pete.

You are in for it with this kit. You will have to add your own underwing interior because the side parts are too high and too big. Big troubles await along the fuselage as well as the wing metal parts. The wing air intake will be a monster and you will have to do your own wing lights. The tiny individual exhaust ports fit (add them at end of the job). On the other side, the canopy actually fits, and if you make it that far, the decals are great. The white lily for the female ace may not have had a flower on the Yak-1, and there is no info if it did. On the other hand, there was a white lily on the left side nose under the exhaust on her Yak-1B (23 number, yes I made that one too — much more fun and no underwing metal. Hand-to-hand combat can be overcome if you like scotch.

I agree Tom, dog of a kit for a newer mold. On a related tangent, do you know of anyone who makes a figure of Lydia, or one which would serve as a basis for conversion?
