Title: A-model 1/72 Yak-9P Post by: Airserbijanac on January 30, 2008, 01:00:00 PM Hi all,
yesterday I became the proud owner of the mentioned Yak-9P. I still found no time to compare it with the photos and drawings, but the kit is the same as A-model Yak-3 VK107, as I can see. Can anyone give the more info on the kit, as I found excellent review of Yak-3 107 at Sovietwarplanes, but nothing on the Yak-9P, although they seem quite alike? Thanx, Igor Title: Re: A-model 1/72 Yak-9P Post by: Massimo Tessitori on January 30, 2008, 02:10:58 PM Hi, :)
if I remember well, many sprues are identical. The wings and landing gear should be different. Massimo Title: Re: A-model 1/72 Yak-9P Post by: Airserbijanac on January 30, 2008, 03:27:11 PM Hi Massimo,
Maybe the wings and landing gear sprues are different, as I examined both kits separately, the looked similar to me, I was possibly wrong.,, thanx for pointing that out. Any info on the accuracy?

(look closely at the assembly instructions and painting/decaling guide) Title: Re: A-model 1/72 Yak-9P Post by: Airserbijanac on January 30, 2008, 07:51:56 PM Thanx DGM, my bad, wings are different, i compared the kits and the differences are obvious. :-\
