Homage to the lovely little Yak 3 and Polikarpov i-16. Realistic Ikea chopping board.

Needed to do this but space for 1/32 builds is limited. Very nice little Eduard kits. Fiddly in bits but fun. Amazing that USSR could produce such modern cockpit canopies (on the Yaks) when you compare birdcage Hurricanes and even [...]

Kinetic 1/48 Mirage 2000
