I guess you plan to add liquid glass to the windows. I've always wondered how that will work with oval windows on a rounded fuselage.

I already experimented with Plasticart's Mercure and An-24V and I intend to do it in two phases: first to fill the windows at all (this part is drying right now and as I already learned it will be bit too deep) and then I plan to add second portion with a bit of excess to get it aligned with the fuselage.

@Trehugger: I added one pic showing the end result of the liquid glass usage - not exactly flat, but I didn;t add the second layer actually. One window has a small bubble, but I decided to leave it as it is. I sealed the windows using multiple thin layers of GX gloss varnish.

Revaro decals dissapointed me a bit - the canopy frame had to be cut in half and the front ends of the sidebands overlapped each other, giving a dark blue shade. So I had to mix couple of Gunze paints to match the colour. I hope I managed to do it, but the result will be visible after varnishing only. Meanwhile I used this mix to spray the engines, but I have still to darken it a bit more.

My Gunze H mix started to react with the surfacer underneath, so I was forced to paint the engines from scratch again. Currently Yak stands on its own wheels, while I work on thrust reversers (scratchbulit) and undercarriage details.

How great is that? 👍 I grew up with Plasticart and I'm currently working on a similar project. True to the motto, back to the roots.😉
