alaninaustria Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Am really looking forward to this kit! Finally some Ruskie birds coming our way! Cheers Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chek Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 The Yak-3 actually entered service much later than the Yak-1/7/9. Thus, the -1/7/9 are the "early Yak types", and the -3 is the late type. In fact, the Yak-3 was the last Yak fighter design to see WWII service. Looking forward to the kit, but somewhat disappointed that it is the -3. D Thanks for that D. Looks like that will be my 'representative' one then. I much prefer inline types to radial engined, so I'd rather have a Yak than a La-5 for instance. Or a Bf 109 than an Fw190, or a Tony rather than any of the other Japanese types. The upcoming Tempest II and a Zero must be the exceptions that prove my own rule!

LSP_Ray Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 There are Yak-9's and Yak-1b's out there in resin, if you really want one. Of course the Yak-1b looks a lot like the Yak-3. Would be nice to see some of the ground attack Yak's, like the Yak-9T or -9K. Would really like to see a Pe-2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Bellis Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Of course the Yak-1b looks a lot like the Yak-3. Yeah, in the same way that an F/A-18C looks a lot like an F/A-18E. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coogrfan Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Here boxart for the another box with the Soviet Aces: And here are cockpit CAD visualisatios: http://www.specialhobby.net/2016/04/sh32011-yak-3-3d-cockpit-132.html Is there a release date for this boxing?

MikeMaben Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) They've said April 15th. Don't know if that means next year or just joking Hopefully it's August, like the ad says Edited July 12, 2016 by MikeMaben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOG7777 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I wonder if the Russian Aces boxing will be a 'Hi Tech' release as well? It would be disappointing if the Normandie Nieman boxing was 'Hi Tech' but the other boxing wasn't. I mean... what if you fancy the marking options in the Russian Aces boxing but also want the extra bits from the 'Hi Tech' release? Buy both?

KOG7777 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Go for two - you can never go wrong Cheers Alan Actually, given the lack of Russian aircraft in 1/32, I probably WILL get at least 2. I really wish Zvezda would get into 1/32... it would be so great to see their 1/48 offerings redesigned and tweaked to be released in the 1/32 scale.

esarmstrong Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Begemot already has a 1/72 and 1/48 scale sheet each offering a boatload of markings for the Yak-3. I believe the 1/48 scale sheet offers 48 different versions! It would seem logical for them to do this same sheet in 1/32 scale too. http://www.begemotdecals.ru/catalog.php?lang=2 Kagemusha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topper71 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Is there actually a yak 9 in resin at 1/32 scale ???? Which is the manufacturer ? Regards topper71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Five Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Can't wait. I saw one of these flying two weeks ago at the Shuttleworth Collection. Superb Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Is there actually a yak 9 in resin at 1/32 scale ???? Which is the manufacturer ? Regards topper71 Here's what's in our Kit Database: http://www.largescaleplanes.com/kitdb/list.php?act=search&plane=yak-9 Silver Wings has announced one, but I don't know when it's coming, or if it still is. The other two kits are vacs. Kev Alburymodeler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 So the Yak-9 is vaporware... Would like to see a "solid" Yak-9 (i. e. no vacu). Lots of variants, lots of marking choices. Even for Korea, if you prefer. Until that - lets build a Yak-3. Or two. Regards - dutik p.s. Eduard has released a set of PE soviet fighter seatbelts. Just in case they are lacking in the kit, or not up to your standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
