How about the products of Alexander Yakovlev's prolific design bureau? Start with the UT-1

right through until the Yak 130

don't talk back...

The Campaign Queen is at it again, a clever concept as always. I know this Yankee's got a Ruski Yak around here somewhere. It could be parked between the Mig 3 and LaGG 3 Series 66 .

Well only the three Yaks tickle me.

The 25, 28 and 32... Especially the 32, it is seriously pretty.

Hippo models has a seemingly mythical quarterscale 28. Aside from that anyone know of any quarterscale 25's or 32's??

The long-defunct Collectaire Yak 25 resin kit seems to have been the only one of this beastie. There doesn't appear to have ever been a Yak 32 kitted in any scale.

Jessica,

Nice idea, I'd probably go with a YAK 3 or 9, and given how small they are in 1/72, I might well venture into a 1/48 kit. Would this be a 2014 build?

Rich

definitely in for this one

Most likely, yes. We're already into October for the campaigns that are approved so I can't really see it starting any sooner.

Count me in with this one that I got new for cheap off eBay ($0.99+S/H) a few months back to lower the "effective" shipping cost on a couple other things I bought.

Howdy Y'all
I'm notorious for signing up for campaigns and not finishing. Count me in, I'd like to build something from WWII like a Yak 1 or 3.
Hopefully I'll finish this time.
Take care,
Don "Lakota"

The farmer who owns the Yak must have poor eye sight if he has to write it's sex on a tag!

Count me in!

Okay, that's 7 interested people. 3 more and we've got ourselves a campaign!

Jessica, I would love to do a Yak - 25/28 family a shot..





.. but that smells like A-model ..

Which brands, besides A-model , that have Yak's ?

@Richard

eheheh... the tag is just to be sure of it, maybe they look alike with all the fur & long hair

Way back in the mists of time there was a double kit put out by Contrail. Here's one being built.

Thanks Jessica !

That looks like another troubled build...

Maybe a Yak-21 / 17 .

I'll have to check, but I might be in !

I have a few yak-1 models i need to get assembled, so count me in

Hi Jessie

You can count me in on this one too.

All the best

Rowan

Me too, done a -3, maybe a -9, a Forger or a -52 if anyone does one.

So many nice options










But I wonder... is the quality of Yak's available kits good / average ?
Since my experiences with A-model kits have been can anyone recommend and good available kit ?

Hi
Go to Hannants web site and search "Yak", they have six pages of Yak models in stock by various manufactures.

Hi again

Yep - I'd say we're spoiled for choice. There were a couple of new UT-1 kits announced in the News section only today.

All the best

Rowan

I originally thought of doing a Yak 3 but I found my East German VEB Plasticart kit of the Yak 40 airliner. Anybody (Jessie C) put one together?

I did that one about 20-odd years ago. It's only accurate for the prototype and the plastic is horribly brittle. It's very basic kit, average to poor fit, no interior at all and the decals were a beast 20 years ago so by now the ones in your kit are likely fired. But if you approach it knowing all that it's a buildable model.
