They look pretty darn good to me, esp the handbrushed camo. 

Don't worry about the tile as a base....looks like snow on a parking ramp, and pretty much in scale as well.  Nice job with older kits and the hand painting.

Hello!

Cool stuff! That Jak-1 is from a company called ZTS Plastyk - those were about the only plastic models available in Poland in the eighties - if you could find them. And then you had to stand in a long line to get one! Just today I also bought a kit made from the old ZTS Plastyk molds - you are right, they are terrible. But they sure have sentimental value for me.

You models look very good - how about posting some close-up photos? Thanks for sharing and good luck building the other ones, have a nice day

Those are hand painted?  Awesome work.  I have not done many Russian planes and will be doing an I-16 soon.  This is inspiring.  Thanks for sharing.

I think the hand painting came out great, gives me hope for when I do my Spitfire!!

Nicely done, especially by hand!  I love your stash.

Thanks for that, Also what I saw on most of my reference material, but the instructions on this kit called for the dark brown and green. It was the eraly camoflage scheme.

Here you can see the box art , the Yak 1 is right at the top, along with a few others that are Brown/Green:

 Very nice models. I love Russian WWII aircraft. Especially the Yak 1s. Not a popular modeling subject. For future reference, Soviet colors were still most likely black and medium green camouflage in 1943, not tan/brown.
