ade rowlands Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 A few more CAD renderings on the Special Hobby website. Looks like the resin items will be some cockpit bits, the radio, wheels and exhausts. Looks like etch belts rather than HGW ones this time around. But at the price they're offering I'm not complaining! Just over half the price I paid for my Tempest. Kagemusha and Big Texan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrbrdmech Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) Special Hobby just posted pics on their Facebook page of CAD for cockpit, exhaust, wheels and such for the Hi-Tech release. Looks great so far. -Shane Edited July 13, 2016 by wrbrdmech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ade - I could only find an 'add to wishlist' option at the SH site. Were you able to advance order it there, or just through Big H? wrbrdmech 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 My bad! I thought Aeropoxy did a Yak-9, but it is a Yak-3 also. Montex released a Yak-1b. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade rowlands Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) Hi Ade - I could only find an 'add to wishlist' option at the SH site. Were you able to advance order it there, or just through Big H? Charles, I ordered my Tempest direct through Special Hobby but I've ordered the Yak through Hannants as they had/have a 10% discount for advance orders, think it came out at £39 and some pennies. The Tempest I think was closer to £60 when I got that, don't recall the exact price as I had a large order for other things from Special Hobby at the time. I could have sworn they had an add to cart feature for the Yak last week when I was ordering mine, because it worked out cheaper ordering from Hannants this time because the £ is having a crap time. Given I was on night shifts last week I could also have easily imagined the whole thing in one of my lack of sleep hazy moments.

Chek Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Cheers Ade. Looks like Big H can work out better sometimes (unless the £ goes below subterranean in the meantime). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) Definitely be getting one of these! Oчень хорошо! Tim W. Edited July 14, 2016 by TimW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chek Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) I promise I don't have shares in it, I just find Flickr a great source for photos and can't help but recommend it for reference shots. An excellent selection of Duxford's Yak-3 in two liveries, on the ground and airborne can be seen at: https://www.flickr.com/search/?text=yak%203%20duxford The underside shots will be particularly helpful I think. Though how many liberties have been taken to produce a modern flying warbird compared to an authentic period piece, I'm not qualified to say. (Produced to original specs by Yakovlev in 1993).

LSP_K2 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 My bad! I thought Aeropoxy did a Yak-9, but it is a Yak-3 also. Montex released a Yak-1b. Just yesterday I had occasion to be perusing the Kagero site, and was reminded once again about this book, one of many that I have on my "want" list.

Artful69 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Awesome ... I haven't really spent much time looking at the evolution of Soviet A/C ... I have the IL2M (Stalingrad era) ... but nothing else ... I was looking at HpH's La.7 and Trumpeters MiG.3 as potentials as well as this one! Anyone know how the above fare??

R Palimaka Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 The Yak 3 is a good choice I think, an attractive and important aircraft, and finally another Soviet fighter. I hope it does well so that SH are tempted to do others, I think a lot of people would like to see a Yak 9 of any version. I will definitely be buying at least one of these.
