Yakovlev "Yak - 1" - the Soviet fighter

The “Yak-1” was built by the Yakovlev Design Bureau as a replacement for the Polikarpov “I-16” fighters. The prototype (I-26) took off for its first flight in January 1940. The plane was not good, but Yakovlev was supported by high members of the Politburo of the USSR and the plane, after minor modifications, was sent to serial production. Immediately after the start of serial production, the development of the fighter began, which in the course of the war gave a whole series of good combat machines: "Yak - 7", "Yak - 9" and "Yak - 3".

An excellent graphically and structurally designed model of medium complexity, representing the fighter with serial number 0442, which was flown by Lieutenant Zakharov of the 21st Fighter Regiment in March 1942. The model can be made with wheeled or skid chassis. The model is designed for modelers of any experience. If you want, it is possible to make a model with included chassis and without cockpit equipment, which, under the supervision of a more experienced colleague, will be perfectly glued even by a novice modeler with little experience.
