Ted Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Does any company make a 1/32 kit of the Yak 1? I've looked to no avail. I have a figure of Lydia Litvyak that I'd like to place beside her airplane. Maybe I could convert a Special Hobby Yak 3? 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a resin kit and therefore a bit pricey. Cheers, Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 I think this deserves a bump - after all, it is the best known Russian WWII fighter! And with several new Yak-1 kits of excellent quality I think it deserves a STGB chance. Cheers, Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basilisk Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 Good to see more interest in what was one of the most successful WWII fighter design.

Basilisk Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 I am currently building the 1/72 scale Arma Yak-1 kit in the "Journey's End GB" as I couldn't wait until this STGB is happening. And what a smashing little kit it is - up there with Tamiya in terms of tooling finesse and fit. So do yourself a favour and purchase the Arma Yak-1 kit and don't forget to sign up for this GB Cheers, Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevDWC Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I keep finding myself drawn to this era of Russian planes. I recently bought an IL-2 and LA-5 for the stash, so some sort of Yak interests me. I'm also curious to try one of the Arma kits that are getting good reviews. Time to add one to various wishlists and put my name forward here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not before the Yak-21, because what you wrote refers also to the Yak-15 , Yak-17 and Yak-21? 😉 B.R. Serge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
