carter478 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 YaK-141(initially called YaK-41M),the first supersonic vertical takeoff fighter of the world. Compare with YaK-38, which is absolutely more comprehensive. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Yakovlev was fund by Lockheed Corporation, which was developing the JSF X-35. Unfortunately it never went into service in the end. Right side is present as retired condition, there is so many differnce between in service condition. Does anybody knows why? Thanks for watching! 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmaks Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Excellent weathering 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 At first I thought that's a bit rough for a jet. This is until I read it is a retired stored plane and it all makes sense. You made a really good job of ageing it and making it look like a sad forgotten plane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Excellent model of an unfamiliar type. The weathering looks very realistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flankerman Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Excellent model carter478 - great weathering. Note that there are TWO Yak-141's on display in Moscow - the one at Monino... ... and the one at the Zadorozhny museum.... They are both coded 141 - and they differ in detail - note the yaw 'puffer' at the rear end of the one above - this is not present on the Monino example. The Zadorozhny example is now coded 75. There are other differences - some that you point out in your photos.... Ken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbo88 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Ouch, I can see why you needed filler! Still, it's great that the kit is available. We seem to be blessed with a veritable avalanche of interesting products these days. When I started making models back in early 80s the hobby was going through the doldrums and the only company that seemed to take risks was Matchbox. What happy times we live in! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
