Special Hobby have sent us details of the next boxing of their excellent 1:32 Yakovlev Yak-3. The new version will include fresh markings plus a resin modification for alternative armament.
”Our Hi-Tech format Yak-3 kit in 1/32 appeared for the very first time in August last year and the kit offered markings for the famous Normandie-Niemen unit. Now we have for you a basic type of the same kit, ie sans the PE and resin parts replacing some plastic items. And of course, this one is also cheaper. The Soviet Yak-3 aircraft is considered one of the best WW2 fighter planes to have seen action in the war, or at least over the Eastern front.

This new kit´s decals sheet caters for three rather colourful machines flown by famous Soviet fighter ace pilots. The airplanes wore victory markings on them, dedications or various artworks on their fuselages. The most interesting of which may seem a painting of an eagle over a white heart on one of them. The model comes via three styrene sprues accompanied by one with clear parts. One of the kit´s scheme options was an early machine being armed with a cannon and only one machine gun instead of a classic pair of mgs of later production machines and for this option we designed a resin plug for the starboard side mg trough.”


Kit #SH32011 - Yakovlev Yak-3 "Onward to Berlin!" will be released soon.
