Oh wow.... a very cool yet odd looking aircraft. Kinda looked like the Texan in a weird way.

Beautiful finish. I've been curious about MikroMir kits. The certainly have some interesting subjects.
That cowling is different for sure.

Well done! You really know how to make a base for the model, and the color modulation on the wings is very nice.

Great looking build!
That sure looks like a typical Soviet "no frills" design...

Great to have you back, Peter! MikroMir kits are nothing for the faint of hearted. Even more impressing what you've done with it!

That's very nice indeed!

Very nice Cherrylock! I once made its big brother, the Yak-11 in Austrian colours. But it is not as nice as yours, you really made that monochrome scheme come alive.
