Description

A lazy one tonight guys' sorry.. got some sort of bot, so I look and feel like crap and can't see straight! One of the other treasures in at Avspecs for some Minor TLC.. a Yak 3.. sort of.. as close as you will get to one these days. Back converted from a Yak-11, and with an Alison replacing the Klimov. A little beauty and flys like a dream.. a real pilots airplane! Note to Seth and Alex.. I wanted to be a fighter pilot too.. got as far as the medical for a cadetship in the RNZAF...then I found out I was blind in one eye, couldn't see out of the other, and was very slightly colourblind. Being just on six foot..that was the least of my problems!! (that said, the world is probably all the safer for my grounding ;o).. have enough problems with 2 dimensions these days!) Have a great week everyone!

this plane looks like a mini Mustang... sweet! LOL.. I had all the same problems, bad eyes, color blind and I was crazy as a loon to boot. I can almost feel the power in this beauty.

Beautiful photo of an under-rated beauty. The paint scheme will look superb as a texture for the .obj. Hope one day to sit in one if not actually fly it. Well Done, Good Eye!
