Hi Misos,
the first and second profiles are too 'humpback', while the ventral line should be curved.
You have drawn the windshields different, are you sure of this? I think that they should be as on the prototype. The horizontal frame shouldn't be oblique. The rear profile of the cooler should be straight, and more extended rearwards up to the end of the karman.

Hi Massimo,
thank you for comment. So I reworked the first one and here is finished profile:


According to this photo:

the plane looks quite clean and camouflage color doe not look worn. It looks like factory overall painting with the white color.

Hi Misos,
nice work. I would check the rear of the cooler, it should be more angular.

Hi Massimo,
thank you. I corrected and replaced picture above - the board number chanded from 31 to 51 (comment from Modelforum.cz), added sight (I forgot it previously), tiny antena mast and slightly reworked rear canopy window.
Regarding cooler I did not find reliable picture, on some pictures it is shorter, on other same like here and o other looks longer/thinner etc. So I let it as is.

Hi Misos,
the cooler is tricky because it is rounded in section, but angular in profile. So, an oblique photo shows it rounded.

Hi Massimo,
I still think also about the camouflage, I am a bit confused now.

1.   The whole bottom part of the front fuselage and front cooler is bright, e.g. white. But top of the fuselage around canopy and sides of the rear fuselage are darker. The tail is apparently brighter, again white. The surface is hard matt, so it is not shining.
2.   However, open landing gear cover, e.g. in the same position against the sun as the side of the front fuselage and front cooler, is quite dark, apparently not white.


3.   This photo shows that the plane was matt white. But also canopy cover is matt and looks to be not very translucent. So the plane could be either quite clean and not weathed, or weathered but covered by icing during that photo session. I do not know whether is matter of this photo scan/copy but surface looks a bit blotchy, not homogenous white.


4.   According to the NKAP the white color had to be applied in the very thin layer allowing original blac/green camouflage th shine through it.

So putting all that together it starting to look to me now more like white camo over original green-black with underserfaces leaving light blue than overall homogenous factory white painting.
What do you think?

Hi Misos,
I see the different impression from the photos. I can't fully explain this; probably the light from the front gives some contribution for the strange lok of the first photo.
About undersurfaces, I can't be sure, but I suspect that AII blue highlighted with the snow reflection from below could give the impression of white.
It could be that white was sprayed in soft way, so delimitation lines are not visible.

This looks pretty fantastic work to me, I would not have a clue how to do this, all I need now is for a model manufacturer to produce a kit in my favourite scale of 1/32.

Cheers

Hi,
thank you for comments. I am glad you like it.  Smiley

Here I still corrected position of the red star on the tail:


And here I tried to make a bit more weathered version to give it look similar to the photo with the whole plane:


And now, let's move on to Baranov's Yak-1.

Hi Misos,
it looks a reasonable compromise to match the photo from far.

Hi,
I have a little problem with Baranov's plane.

View from the left:
- 24 victory starlets,
- field of the starlets on the bottom does not reach to the edge on the fuselage,
- inscription goes to the oposite side over the top,
- tiny antena mast is not visible:



View from the right:
- inscription from to the oposite side is not visible not the top of the fuselage,
- only 23 victory starlets,
- field of the starlets is bigger and on the bottom it reaches reach the edge on the fuselage,
- tiny antena mast is clearly visible:




Victory starlet no. 24 is just being painted:


Is is one repainted and reconfigured plane during several photosessions or are they several different planes, that were "on hand" and appropriately decorated for the actual prohosession?
Regards,
