the work started by assembling the wings and painting the cockpit.

wings had good fittings, no need putty.

The cockpit was painted with a mixture of blue gray with light blue from Mr.hobby and details with various acrylic paints.

Let the result:

the pré-shading was made with red-brown to leave a impression of the dirty and oxide metal

It's sad that Hobby Boss did not do any research into the ejection seat of the Yak-38. It had a very unique version of the K-36 ejection seat specially designed for this aircraft. The one in the kit is nothing like it.

Yep, and beside that Hobby Boss stated on box cover "38M", but you can not build M version straight out of the box.
