Two related kits of early Soviet jet fighters, the -17 being a development of the Yak-15 with tricycle u/c. Both types have been kitted before, vac-forms and injection moulded, but A Model’s new kits supersede all previous attempts. Simple kits, neatly moulded with rather ?heavy? detail, and pretty accurate so far as I can tell.
Cockpit detail is reasonable, a good basis for extra work, and the flaps are moulded separately. Engine intake and exhaust details are good, the u/c is well done (albeit with thick gear doors), and I would foresee few problems in construction. Provided, of course, the usual A-Model kit cleaning up and test fitting are done carefully! These kits are NOT Japanese quality, but pose few problems for a reasonably experienced modeller.
Decals are provided for 2 (Yak-15) or 4 aircraft (Yak-17), in the latter case with Soviet, Polish and Czech options. Colour scheme details are fine, as are the instructions generally.
Recommended.
