Yak-9D - Zvezda 1:72

[hal bregg]

Hello!

Yak-9, probably the most widely produced WW2 fighter, but we had been waiting for a good Yak-9 model in 1:72 since 1945, so I decided to make it...

The kit:
Projected as a "no glue snap fit"- (why?,- expected shortages in glue supply?)-some changes needed to glue it properly.
Bodywork, details sharp and correct.
I added Rescue resin exhausts (but the set ones would be enough)

Marking:
Yak-9D (D-"dalnyj"-long range variant) - flown by Captain M. Grib (17 victories). The 6th GIAP of the 11th ShAD, Black Sea Fleet Arm, Saki Airfield, April-May 1944.

Very Nice model
Just question: which company you' chosen for that kit ?
Last one I built is the ultra old Airfix 30 years ago...
