Yak-15 WIP

Interior painted with RC-319 A-14 Steel Grey (based on reference photos), radio compartment re-made (put 2 more scratch-built radio boxes + wiring), ready for fuselage assembly (seems that making full engine is not the best idea, intake and exhaust will be placed after fuselage assembly

So this is it, after 4 layers of putty and 4 sandings I've finally assembled most of the fuselage (lower parts near engine need additional work though).
Same thing with wings, you have to cut the parts to fits them.

Decided not to assemble the engine, it is useless and gives lots of fit issues, just inserted the inlet cone and exhaust after the fuselage is glued together.

Well done so far 👍.

Yay, another Amodel build 👍

Wings are finally done and so is the engine pod. Pre-painted intake and exhaust, as well as gear bay.
Gear bay looked a bit dull so I've added hydraulic tubes roughly based on reference photos (copper wire)

Now the final part is here: re-scribing panel lines, probably add some rivets.

Hard job but good result so far 👍

Scratch-built gunsight and gunsight railing, added 23mm guns and pilot tube
Added radio wires using 0.1 monofilament (Since I'm building a version with two radio sets using reference photos from Zadorozhniy museum, it should have two radio antennas).

Primed and painted in classic Soviet late 40s colour scheme. Meanwhile, tore off some of the antennas and pilot tube (putting them on was a big mistake, knowing how careful I am with minor details on models they should be last step only or they won't survive).

There are some minor troubles with paint on the edges, but I'll fix it later.
