In reality, the Yak-23 D.S. externally very much repeats the first version of the Yak-23UTI -Yak-23UTI-I (yelp, it's little sensation! ), which was later redesigned by Yakovlev's design bureau in Yak-23UTI-II, so familiar to us. Yak-23UTI-I did not suit the military for many reasons, including because of a poor review of the instructor from the back cockpit. Did the design bureau Yakovlev help Romania in the development of their Yak-23 D.S. is not yet known reliably, in theory should have been. Yak-23UTI-II itself also had some changes in testing period. Photos Soviet Yak-23UTI -I will be later. B.R. Serge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yak-23 UTI-I: Yak-23 UTI-I original cutaway: Yak-23 UTI evolution: But have next differences Yak-23 D.C. v.s. Yak-23 UTI-I: 1. Canopy 2. Rear canopy fuselage panel line. 3. Yak-23 UTI-I was modification second prototype Yak-23 who have place for airbrake on a wing: (But airbrake on wing was deleted! No image this place on a wing!) So, as I think for correct maked all version Yak-23 D.C/ UTI "A&A models" need made: - 3 different fuselages; - 2 different wings; - 6 different canopy; - as minimal 2 different main wheel gears..... ...do you seriously think that they will do all this?

71chally Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 On the SR/A1 the two Beryl engines are behind, and each side of the cockpit, but only just. The Goblin engine starts ahead of the cockpit. Wouldn't have a clue with the Soviet types, thank you for those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Goblin engine starts ahead of the cockpit. Goblin cockpit in fact sit on a engine. Because this is something in between, but in any case, the engines of these aircraft do not start behind the cockpit of the plane! There is also a question of how to classify La-200 and I-320, because one of their engines is in front of the cockpit, and the second behind the cockpit! That's why I put a question mark - (?)! 1 hour ago, 71chally said: Wouldn't have a clue with the Soviet types, thank you for those. No problem! I just flipped through page this Russian reference book "Jet fighters of the world.1941-2006" and added something from my memory! B.R. Serge P.S. B.w.

I have built the Bilek Yak 23 some time ago and I certainly recognize this kit when looking at the A&A sprues. Although the A&A seems more complex...there was no engine in the Bilek Yak, but the layout of the main subassemblies (fuselage, wings, cockpit, wheel bays) are almost identical.
