Ryan Hothersall Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 The 1:72 Amodel kit of the Yak-17 built in Soviet markings using a mix of the kit decals and decals from the spares file. Build wise, not a bad kit considering it's a short run kit, so fit isn't perfect, but there aren't too many parts so that helps. It's biggest issue I found is that it's a tail sitter. I did put in what I thought was enough weight, but turned out it was nowhere near enough and I had to use a wire prop, which did not quite work either... Overall SMS PL80 grey. Now the drama with the decals... The small stars on the tail seemed to go on ok, the numbers on the nose worked too... But the stars on the underside of the wing and on the rear fuselage fell apart, so meaning a rummage around in the spares file... So fished out some leftover Hobby Boss ones off a MiG-15.
