Seagull 71" Reno Air Care YAK-11 - Perestroika - Build Vlog

[djmoose]

I started a build vlog of Perestroika...here's episode one where I give a little history and go over the covering with a heat gun and iron:
(I get the year wrong of the last time Czech Mate raced...it was 2016, not 2006.)

Hi all. I just finished building a seagull yak54. I am not mad about the 2 peace landing gear and wad thinking of changing it to carbon fibre or something similar. Any suggestions 🤔

Just a little montage of video clips of the Perestroika.

Enjoy this relaxing montage of videos and photos of this beautiful Seagull Perestroika. You might think I went a bit overboard...but I had a BLAST creating this mini movie. I hope this conveys how I look at airplanes...and I hope that this shows off the beauty and style of this Reno racer.

I purposely left off most of the Perestroika Reno graphics at this point...there was just something about how it looks like this, I wanted to capture it. I'm not sure if/when I'll put the full decals on. This is how I'm enjoying my model Perestroika at this stage.
