Hi Dennis,

good to see nice, large scale models.
The only thing that I would suggest done differently is the camouflage pattern on your green-black Yak-1.  As is, the camouflage pattern is quite unconvincing:  From what I know, there are no photos of this particular 812 iap Yak-1, but this doesn't mean it's camouflage could be a complete speculation.  I know the camouflage is not your fantasy, but whoever made it didn't have a lot f evidence...

at http://air-monger.com/yak-1-nestandartnyij-kamuflyazh.html the scheme is called "non-standard"



IMHO, something like skin below would be more probable:

Yes the second skin looks very good, and similar to the grey/grey one but at the time I only had the kit painting instructions, but I still like it, maybe if they ever bring out an injection moulded kit I'll build another one .

Cheers

second skin looks like standard 1941 camouflage scheme



gray/gray one should be close to 1943 standatd camouflage scheme for fighters



all this, and much more, can be found at  http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/colors/colors.html

Very good builds given some of the parts fit.

Are you planning to add some filtering and color modulation, perhaps some streaking effects?

Thank you both for the kind words and advice, the models are now in the display cabinet, I was just glad to finish them off, I think building 3 at a time was a bit ambitious especially with resin kits, I was heartily sick of them towards the end. Usually I do fade paintwork but did not bother with these kits I was just glad to finish them.

Cheers

Oh well, you can always do it later after the bad memories fade.   Grin

Those models look great, Dennis! Three 1/32nd scale Soviet GPW models together - a rare sight indeed! Some day we'll have a good selection of IM 1/32nd scale GPW kits to choose from. Some day. Maybe.

Regards,

Jason

P.S. Not to advocate violence, but when I hear Luftwaffe modellers complain about this or that Bf-109 or Fw-190 1/32nd scale kit being a bit off, and not as good as company X's kit of the same version I rather wish to punch them in the face.

Yes, beggars can't be choosers when it comes to 1/32 scale VVS subjects

Cheers
