Yak-1 to 11 STGB - and 12 to go!

[Ted]

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? 😬

Alley Cat makes a Yak 1B in 1/32 which is an enhanced version of the Montex kit which is no longer available.

 

It is a resin kit and therefore a bit pricey.

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

Count me in! 1/48 Yak-1 by Accurate Miniatures, the Lilya Litvyak special edition.

Good to see more interest in what was one of the most successful WWII fighter design.

Welcome aboard. There are some nice marking schemes on the Normandie Niemen Yaks.

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

Id like to see this one get some more attention do going to bump it up.

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.

I have one - I signup!

To me most STGB are covering the same types over and over, so how about a Yak-1 to 11 STGB covering Yak1, Yak-3, Yak-7, Yak-9 and Yak-11 as they are all based on the same airframe design utilizing different engines and manufacturing techniques.

Why not before the Yak-21, because what you wrote refers also to the Yak-15 , Yak-17 and Yak-21? 😉
