Yak-15 "Feather"

[+paulopanz 2,876]

I know I have too much WIPS and not much time to finish them up all ..... but I can't resist rebuilding this old Pasko's plane using last Stary's fantastic Yak-23 pit.

 

 

 

- tail mapping bug fixed

- rudder mapping main bug fixed

- front wings upside-down mapping bug solved

- a better pilot seat added

- all histotcal skins in the makings

- new decalset

 

 

@ For Stary the great polish Terraformer/Cockpitmaker: May I use Your pit? If so, have You some edits to do for Yak-15 fit? (Your message board is full up ......)

So very cool, but not enough rivets....

[+Stary 2,427]

will have a look, PBP-1 gunsight is different variant (1B?) in -15, slightly different layout and colour plus enclosed side panels right off the top of my head

Stary, why don´t you tweak the Flora´s pit to an Yak-15´s one? Should be great!!!

That's what I hoped: please upgrade Your Yak-23 pit in a Yak-15 one!

I wait for you.

[+Stary 2,427]

downgrade rather... ok, will have a look guys, those skins alone are worth it Paulo!

.... oh yes, downgrade is the right word! I have a whole book full of Yak-15/17/23 skins to make for You Stary .....

Do them for me too, so we can get more Enemies in Operation Isbjörn ;-)

Sure thing, Viking. And maybe some new Yak-23, too ....

I removed the windscreen via .INI trick but the lower part of the front windscreen frames showed a free space... A dedicated cockpit is urging! TheYak-15 pit from IL-2 game pit is a good example to follow.

To paulopanz - The correct green color should be this - http://www.airliners.net/photo/Russia---Air/Yakovlev-Yak-15/1336174/L/&sid=258ad45f8b9730d0a913b2ce0ff0115d

Good work guys!!

The cockpit shot is fantastic!

About colors there are quite a lot of different greens. Your is taken from a real thing, but museum planes are often repainted.

For example except Acro trams VVS planes of that era should not have red stars on upper wings ....

BTW I will surely use your pic for a skin.

Thank You.

[+Stary 2,427]

yes yes yes, BUT making proper one would take ALOT of time, trust me on this one... so here's downgraded, stand-in version based on my Flora

one... not perfect but close enough I guess*

 

 

here it is as it is... with all the projects I'm involved in at the moment new proper Yak-15 is out of the question

 

Yak 15 mockup cockpit.zip

 

 

*personally I prefer to have close enought Yak-23 standing in for Yak-15 and some others than not to have any

(also we all were WOW! seeing repainted Typhoons and Texans posing as FW-190s in those good old war movies )

Nice one, Stary!

[+Coupi 4,388]

Very very good!

[+Crusader 2,101]

Very nice Stary for a quick mockup

Now I can replace the -23 pit in the Yak-15 too... I use it to fly intercepts on B-29 on theTaiwan terrain.. fun fun... :)

[+Stary 2,427]

those little early jets are sweet... now we need one to revamp La-15

 

edit:

I think Paulo already did it of course

Oh Yes but you could - one of these days - put in place a better cockpit too!

[+Stary 2,427]

surely, carry on with the wish list!

 

I'm really cockpits occupied until 2014 or so

[+paulopanz 2,876]

..... as the Yak-15 is pending for approval, we can go to bed. Good night, gents.
