Thank you, John @johnb and George @gblair. I'm pretty happy with the fuselage width and how the cockpit looks. Next is the wings and tail plane.

Thank you, Spiros @fiveten. The canopy now fits correctly onto the fuselage.

The next day after the glue in the wheel well was cured I attached the wings to the fuselage. Since I widened the fuselage and most of it was done to the nose/cockpit areas, I knew I will have some issues on the wings. This caused them to have more of a swept back effect and I hand to correct this by adding a block close to the rear [art of the wing to give it the correct angles.

While waiting for the glued parts to cure on the Yak-17, I've been doing some work on the Yak-15. In these 3 shots, it shows the work I did to the cockpit floor and sear assembly. The one on the right is in its original format and it is very basic. The work I put in the one on the left was not much, I scraped the seat bottom down a little, added rails and head rest. Filed down the rectangular rudder pedals and cut small pieces of styrene sheets, filed into shape and glued onto a few cut pieces of stretch sprue.

Absolutely superb craftsmanship, my friend @v1pro! Both look wonderful so far!

Thank you, Spiros @fiveten and John @johnb. I'm glad that this Yak-17 is a small kit. So far I am happy with how the Yak-17 is coming along. I hope it turns out looking like the way I see it in my head.

Thank you, George @gblair. I plan on having the canopy open for both builds. And yes I agree, this is a pretty cool looking plane.
