KRK4m Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) Homebee - would you please correct the topic name. Now it's: Yakovlev Yak-9DD & Yak-9A & D by Modelsvit - Yak-9DD released - Yak-9D & Yak-9A release in 2020 - Yak-7 resin conversion set by Vector There have never been anything like the Yak-9A. Thus it should read: Yakovlev Yak-9DD & Yak-7A & Yak-9D by Modelsvit - Yak-9DD released - Yak-9D & Yak-7A release in 2020 - Yak-7 resin conversion set by Vector Cheers Michael Edited February 15, 2020 by KRK4m a misprint 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Yes, John. When talking about the Yaks you're always right :) The Yak-7DI (thus -7B with metal wing spars, larger fuel tanks and one MG less) when put into series production has been renamed simply the Yak-9.

Learstang Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 On 02/10/2019 at 17:13, John Thompson said: Looks great! Maybe with Modelsvit making such a commitment to the Yak-9 series in 1/48, someone will pick up on doing the same in 1/72. The recent attention to the Yak-1b in one-seventytooth (excellent kits from Brengun and Arma) is encouraging! John To see new-mould 1/72nd scale kits of the Yak-9D, Yak-9DD, and the Yak-9T would be brilliant! Regards, Jason 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebee Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 Source: https://www.facebook.com/groups/greenmats/permalink/3024505224275666/ Quote Hello Friends, Maybe someone of you know that in the end of 1944, a small amount of Yak-9D (Early vers.) were converted into 2-seat night interceptors with more powerful armament and radio locator. So, we have decided to recreate this unfamiliar modification under designation Yak-9SD in 1/48 scale. Greetings!! V.P. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Boak Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 What's a TD? A long range T? Or just not-quite-as-inventive as the SD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Red Stars 5 reference the Yak-9T - "from the 11th batch (Feb 1944) onwards all machines were built with four tanks holding a total of 480 litres. When the 37-mm Nudel'man/Sooranov cannon was installed, the model was designated Yak-9TD". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbolt Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 On Hannnants the other day I noticed this. Does anyone know if it's the Modelsvit, Alanger or ICM kit?

John Thompson Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 It appears that it's Modelsvit - "В коробке Як-9ДД от фирмы Modelsvit" = "In the box Yak-9DD from the company Modelsvit", according to Google Translate: https://leib-company.ru/voennye-samolety/19168-zebrano-48001-istrebitel-yak-9dd-i-toplivozapravsshik-bz-38-1-48.html John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Boak Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Yes, the 37mm was designed for Air to air, and very popular as a "sniper". The P-39 was also designed and built with a 37mm, part of the reason the Russians liked it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The P-39 was also designed and built with a 37mm, part of the reason the Russians liked it. I thought the T stands for Tahnkovyy, which I believe translates to tank-busting? I don't speak Russian so I'm only going from what I've read, but I do realise it was used against aircraft. The Lagg-3 also used a 37mm cannon, the Sh-37 which they used against bombers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Thompson Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Probably a case where it was designed for one thing (anti-tank warfare) but used where the opportunity arose against aircraft. There was also the Yak-9K with its massive 45 mm cannon, again designed as a tank destroyer. Either weapon would have had such a recoil force as to make it difficult to aim for sustained fire against anything more maneuverable than a tank or a bomber, and even then it was seemingly intended that one round would do the job.

John Yes the NS-45 was a beast, though a bit too much for the Yak-9 structure. The Yak-9K ended up being used mainly for ground attack because of the lack of German bombers being used by that time in the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
