This is my 1/72 Flying-Fish-Models
Vostok-1 with Yuri Gagarin. It was an enjoyable weekend build. No putty
was required. I used the kit provided wire for bending the paperclip antennas
but used guitar strings for the longer straight antennas. Some wiring for
additional detail was done around the middle section.

I did weather the
final stage, whereas I left the capsule in a shiny SNJ metal powder polished
finish, since it was protected by an aerodynamical cover during the flight
through the atmosphere.
Hope you like it.
