It's mentioned that the resin by NeOmega, contains 2 vacuum canopies, decal for 6 profiles. The assemble instruction not yet printed, but it will be after the kit will reach a market.

The 1/48 enthusiasts really are getting some amazing kits this year. Those of us who prefer 1/72 scale might have to "change our religion"! ;)

Title: Re: New Yak-9U 1/48 Post by: nimbus109 on September 14, 2007, 05:15:22 PM I agree on the wingtip, but that is easily fixed......I am anxious to find a dealer....Modelimex in CZ and Buffies Best in the US have said no, but Neomega UK may pick it up due to their connection with Neomega. I for one will buy. Great looking kit and much much better than the ICM Yak-9s.
