The box says Encore, but Scalemates indicates this kit was first issued by Dakoplast in 1997, then Encore, then Eastern Express, and finally Modelist. As Marc mentioned in comments to the build thread the sprues match the ICM kit. I enclosed the wheelwells, replaced the wheels, and substituted a vacuform canopy for the awful kit piece. The model represents a generic Yak-9T of the 3rd FAC operating in the Kursk area, summer 1943.

Jeff, could you do a piece on the Soviet Night Witches of WW2?
I read a novel some time ago titled The Last Citadel. Fascinating stuff.

I am also interested in the Nachthexen, one of my first posts was one of their aircraft. Looks like I could do better with the photos! I wish someone would make some figures of Soviet female pilots and groundcrew, it would really help tell the story. https://inchhighguy.wordpress.com/2018/11/26/icm-1-72-po-2-nachthexen-night-bomber/

I’m amazed you’ve gotten all these Yaks done! I struggle with keeping straight all the variations between subtypes. But its fun and I like the look of them.

I’m definitely no Yak expert, and it doesn’t help any that the different types were produced concurrently. Glad you liked them!
