Yak-9D Exhaust Stacks (P48004 for Zvezda)

1:48 Special Hobby 3D Print

 

 

We reviewed the new Yak-9D from Zvezda recently here, and now Special Hobby have produced a 3D Printed set of replacement exhausts to ramp up the detail on the kit.  The set arrives in the new orange-themed blister pack with card hanger on the rear and the instructions sandwiched between the two parts.  Inside are the resin parts, surrounded by a laser-cut foam insert.

 

 

Inside the package are four rows of beautifully printed exhausts on a single print-base that all have hollow D-profile tips. The kit includes a full depiction of the Klimov engine for inside the cowling, with individual stacks included, but they don’t have hollow tips.  The replacements do have hollow D-profiled tips, and are supplied as two paired exhausts in the centre openings, and two more singles at each end of the block.  Once removed from the print base they are a drop-in replacement for the kit parts, with the only difference (apart from the detail) that you need to use super glue (CA) to locate them in their slots.

 

An straight-forward update to the kit parts that is eminently simple to use and won’t leave you exhausted (I know, not funny ).

 

Highly recommended.
