1/32 Special Hobby Yakovlev Yak-3 Normandie Niemen Hi-Tech Model Kit

Description: Three aircraft types seem to have been competing of the imaginary ‘best WW2 fighter’ title, the Hawker Tempest, P-51D Mustang, which were flying on the Western Front, and the third one is an aircraft of a completely different concept, a light weight, Soviet-built and highly manoeuvrable fighter, the Yak-3. And at least, this one can be called the very best of the Eastern Front. It was made famous not just by Soviet fighter pilots, but also by those flying with the Normandy-Niemen regiment. This French unit fought over the Eastern Front from 1944 until the end of war and it was the Yak-3 type that they used, and even kept using after the war when the French pilots got back home. And successfully they fought as can also be seen by the numerous victory markings painted behind the cockpits of their machines. The Hi-Tech format decal sheet covers five of the Normandy-Niemen airframes all of which carry their iconic lightning markings on the fuselage sides. Four of the machines were flown by ace pilots including the very best of them Lt.Marcel Albert. The kit comes on three grey styrene sprues, one with clear parts. The Hi-Tech format is achieved by the extra parts as the resin cast exhausts, undercarriage wheels, both the main ones and the tail one, machine gun breech details, wireless and machine gun barrel ends. The model also contains spray masks and fine photo etches of the seat belts and other smaller cockpit details.
