congratulations, another excellent model! All your AMT colours are very convincing.
Think you mister K , you know that your opinion is important for me
Just FYI, all yak-3s preserved in museums are WWII planes:
- Yeromenko's Yak-3 preserved in OKB Yakovlev's museum (sold to Americans) is a very early model with one UBS made in summer 1944
- le Bourget Yak-3 was made in December 1944
- Yugoslav Yak-3 preserved in Belgrade was made in 1945, before VJ-day.
Sorry, I thought that the other yak-3 were post-war planes with metal wings...
IMHO mud looks a bit out of scale.
After a week of snow , it rained a lot in Powunden the day before Iribarne took off the last time, and according to the regiment diary, the place had mud every where (sory i don't find the worlds in english).
So I decided to try weathering of mud.
I'm very in doubt that mud can reach the fuselage in such quantity. Eventually the tail.
Oh yes it can!
look at those pics
are you still in doubt?
There is nearly no mud on the wheels.
you're wright! I'm just trying I don't know very well where I am going to.
But you're wrignt , I will get the wheels dirtyer!
down the plane , I 'm put a lot of mud too (with the agreement of a profesionel pilot who is modeler in my french forum.
take a look at those pics:
the way the plane get dearty:
in this case the mud goes everywhere under the wing.
a rusian video:

Anyway I 'm not a pilot and those are only interpretation, but I'm heaving a big fun!!!
