Yak-3 Normandie Niemen expected in August

[Learstang]

This is long, long overdue as a subject in 1/32nd scale in IM, but very welcome. Now somebody needs to do the Lavochkin series in IM in 1/32nd scale. Although I realise there were many detail differences, hopefully SH will do some more of the Yak fighters, notably some of the Yak-9's (how about a Yak-9T with a fully-detailed engine and 37mm cannon?).

 

Regards,

Unfortunately the book is oop but, if you can find it, try to get the number 4 booklet of this excellent French series:

Without any doubt, this is one of the best references for such a kit.

[is it windy yet?]

Not a good day for that 109...

Yes but the real question is that, if they kitted the Bf-109 instead of the yak how big of stink would people making about why another 109?

Nice to see more Russian gear. So, with the Trumpeter MiG-3 and various Hobby Boss Sturmoviks, we have three indigenous WW2 VVS types in 1/32 IM styrene.

 

Might get a Pe-2 one day.

And the Special Hobby 1/32 Polikarpov I-16 as well. So four types in total, counting this new Yak-3.

Any chance we could merge some of these Yak 3 threads..?

It's probably too late for that, as they have enough of a life of their own that merging them would probably screw up the original flow of the posts, making the whole seem a bit disjointed, with posts seemingly coming out of nowhere to answer or refute seemingly non-existent comments (or attach to previous posts in a nonsensical way).

I am looking forward to this one.

I believe the Normandie Niemen is actually a separate release, so leaving this thread as is is the way to go. I merged the other two before the second got far.

Nice boxing be looking forward to these Yaks!

And hopefully an entire family.

Yak, yak, yak. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)
