Jak-1 early 1/48 South Front Resetov
Hello!
Right now Im building this one.
It is an interesting kit is bears the signs of excelent designing and medioroce producing.
The most beautifull Wheel Bays have ever seen in a JAK kit, also interesting and accurate details int he cockpit, realistic oil and water cooling system details.
But due to the overflow of the plastic mould the molding lines are unsure and you have to polsih over some of the fine details.
Sever joint gap can be found in front of the cockpit.
Soon I reach the painting part, and I have a few questions regarding to that.
I choose Resetov?s plane from 1942.
The decals were relesaed by AML, wich preents it with a camo paintning.
Altough they didn?t recognised the typ well .(canopy)
But the Authentic Dcals is now designing their own version of the same decal, where they picture it simply green.( AMT-4?)
http://scalemodels.ru/modules/forum/viewtopic_t_31536_start_0.html Wathcing this poor quality picture, it is really hard to decide, but I found the AML-s camo painting to be more realistic.
Or not?
For me the Redstar with white sides is a bit troubling on the stabilizer fin, why was it white?
Perhaps it was a winter camo painted plane and the technican did some mistake during repaint?
It seems possible to me because ont he picture the side lines seem to be bit uncertain, also the wing?s edge.
But if that is the case why didn?t the star on the side of the plane made by the same methode?
