Hey Grant, thanks for building something we don't see very often.  I love unusual subjects and this bird does qualify.  It looks really nice too, bang up job on her!Bow Down

Very good looking model of a truly ugly aircraft!

Akan acrylics yes, I used Vallejo airbrush thinners with them, no problems and real nice paints to work with.

Just stunning! Great work on a rarer subject. Nice soft colors. Are these the Akan acrylics? Are they thinned with alcohol? They look like they preformed great for you.

Thanks mate, overall it was good, a little trouble around the intake to fuselage area, nothing major though.

Hi everyone, here is my latest build just finished. The Yak-38, This aircraft fascinates me, it is such an awkward looking thing, not as graceful looking as some aircraft. I really enjoyed the build, I used Akan paints on this one and they are great paints to work with. I added some lead wire on the landing gear, otherwise it is OOB. I lost a couple of decals due to folding up on themselves and no matter what I did I could not fix them so I left them off.
Thanks for looking.
