Title: Yer-2 page updated Post by: Massimo Tessitori on September 07, 2011, 04:36:18 PM Hi, I've updated the page by improving the drawings. http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/Yer-2/Yer-2camo/yer-2camo.htm (http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/Yer-2/Yer-2camo/yer-2camo.htm) Regards Massimo Title: Re: Yer-2 page updated Post by: learstang on September 07, 2011, 05:57:43 PM Looks good, Massimo! A very interesting aeroplane; someday I'm going to try my hand on the Amodel kit. I understand it's not the easiest kit in the world to build, but it's the only game in town. My only real regret is that they don't also do the earlier variant with the asymmetrical cockpit.

if I don't miss, Amodel makes two variants. I have one with side-by-side cockpit; how is the other one? Identical? Unfortunately, the earlier variant has a lot of differences, to reproduce this one they should rebuild the mould in nearly total way. Regards Massimo Title: Re: Yer-2 page updated Post by: learstang on September 08, 2011, 12:46:07 AM The other variant Amodel do I believe is a transport version of the second variant. I think they would have to do another mould for the earlier variant. I would probably buy that one in a second.

narration has nothing to do with the film. As i gather it is taken from training film and describes preflight check of a fighter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb4uK6WgKJ8&feature=relmfu (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb4uK6WgKJ8&feature=relmfu) Title: Re: Yer-2 page updated Post by: Massimo Tessitori on December 11, 2011, 10:18:40 PM Thank you Tiso. I'll try to obtain some screenshot.

Regards, Jason Title: Re: Yer-2 page updated Post by: K.Ingraham on December 21, 2011, 01:46:26 AM I have that kit and i started a thread about here back when I bought it in '09 or '10. It's like the old Airfix kits except for the surface detail.
Very basic interior. It will keep me amused for a long time! It's an interesting and odd enough looking a subject so the attention it will bring will be worthy of the effort. |
