In this video I am building a tiny soviet made jet. I built this model only because this airplane has seen service with the Bulgarian Air force. Other ways this is a pretty bad kit and I cannot recommend it.

Good morning Sir, that was a fantastic build video, and to think it was only 1/72nd scale, you are a true artist of this great hobby and also a true inspiration to us modest builders, I hope you and your family are keeping safe and well, very best regards from Australia.

Fantastic job on the Yak, having done a few of the older Special Hobby kits myself I know what a pain they can be. Do you know if they have gotten any better with there newer kits? I really like the early Russian jets, but it is so hard to find decent kits for the early Yaks & Migs.

Beautiful job sir! I love how it turned out and really like those Bulgarian markings.... It is lovely. But tough kit to build eh? I have one and want to do it someday. Currently doing Amodel Su-1 so I have built some tough kits before...Special Hobby Boomerang and their recent FH-1 Phantom, Azur Bloch Mb152, Amodel Yak-1 (all 1/72) . So if I can handle those kits do think I can handle this one?

It's probably similar to the tamiya cement. Just as tamiya there are several types... slower, faster and super fast which also comes with their respective flowing properties,
