Yakolev Yak-38 Forger in Afghanistan - Hobbyboss 1/48


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys, Here you go the last pictures of my Yakolev Yak-38 Forger or "Harrierski" as it was deployed in Afghanistan in the 80's. You may also look for it in the "Work In Progress" section of the Aviation Forums or clicking at this link  http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235013202-yakolev-yak-38-forger-hobbyboss-148/#comment-2565902

I`m always wondering if this Russian cigar can fly, but your model don`t have to fly, I hope so. Excelent work and like Darby says, not the norm scheme. Great work. Udo.

Looks nice! :goodjob:  All in all, Yak-38 performed 107 missions in Afghanistan in combat conditions in pairs and alone, accompanied by the Su-17. The program was finished on May 29, 1980

Nice job - I did one myself a few years back when the kit came out.  It goes together well, and guess what?  I did the same scheme as you! :doh: There's a link in my signature if you're interested :)

That looks great.  Something different for the Forger and really good work on the Hobbyboss kit

Thanks Vulture. It's really a good kit, it has minor issues but overall a good kit.

About Yak-38s - all four aircrafts made 108 (or 107 in other sourses) flights, not one.

 

Here is painting two of Yak-38s from Romb operation, which we include in our Yak-38 decal in 1\72 and 1/48  scales.
