That thing looks much to fast for fixed legs, i made something like that on my Herford Bomber ...

But who cares about if it's standing on the ground,  just the rivet counters  😄 .

First theme is the main color ,  maybe some tiger stripes in green/black or only green .

The basic idea was a german Luft '47 aeroplane,  so it could be in german markings.

That's a really cool looking machine !

It certainly is. Mind you they look like stand off missiles in the engine pods 

They ARE MISSILES in the engines    .

I have added some fine lines, dirt and clear coat to the first Yak .

The second Yak i have will be a 5 engine version :

The Wooksta did warn you.   

There is a lot of sheet added at the front to get it in shape,  at the tail i have removed much material for the same reason, both parts of the fuselage are different. It's a luck that they are nearly 3 mm strong so there is enough flesh for sanding it ...
The ZEN of model building 😖 .

If the name "Veeday" (Bidet) didn't clue you in on the quality... Looks about as good/bad as a Merlin kit or early Pegasus.

The 5 engine Yak looks interesting. The Soviets had the Su-10:



Your Yak sounds like a proof of concept.

 

Yes , the USSR has copied that from my early design book.

And here I was thinking the Pioneer 2 Yak 15 was bad.  It's a treat compared to this.

They had a lot in common with Merlins, and not just the 'quality'

Anyone watched ERASERHEAD by David Lynch ?

And another YAK 23 is tuned by 2 engines build from 2 droptanks ( i don't know where they came from, giftet from a club member or so ) .

Cut them into 3 pieces and fix it together in another way .  And a lot of sanding .

Then ad 7-8 steel balls in the front, this will be a part of a little diorama, standing at the ground .
