nice plane. Is this a short run kit? Regards Massimo Title: Re: Yak-2 1/48 Mars Models Post by: 66misos on April 15, 2015, 10:28:59 PM Hi Massimo,
on the page http://models.in.ua/item/1152/советский+разведчик-бомбардировщик+як-2 (http://models.in.ua/item/1152/советский+разведчик-бомбардировщик+як-2) they write that it is casting under low pressure. Master model is made by 3D printing. Regards, 66misos Title: Re: Yak-2 1/48 Mars Models Post by: learstang on April 16, 2015, 05:52:31 AM Very interesting! A Yak-2 in 1/48th scale - now that's one I didn't see coming. It will be interesting to see what else they come out with (a Yak-4 in short order, no doubt).

seems the description of a resin kit. What about the price? Regards Massimo Title: Re: Yak-2 1/48 Mars Models Post by: 66misos on April 16, 2015, 10:34:31 AM Hi Massimo,
according to the page http://models.in.ua/producer/mars+models (http://models.in.ua/producer/mars+models) the price is 999 grn. If "ua" in web address means Ukrajina and "grn" means grivna currency, then price is about 40 EUR plus packing & postal cost. Regards, 66misos Title: Re: Yak-2 1/48 Mars Models Post by: JP on August 02, 2015, 03:00:10 AM They're popping up here in eBay for $65. A bit much for me, but very interesting.

Title: Re: Yak-2 1/48 Mars Models Post by: Troy Smith on August 02, 2015, 03:35:37 PM Mars Model also do a Yak-4, as it seems it just needs new engines.
some discussion here http://www.network54.com/Forum/149674/thread/1435428322 Title: Re: Yak-2 1/48 Mars Models Post by: JP on August 02, 2015, 06:51:54 PM http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10339078 (http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10339078) Wow, compared to that, $65 doesn't seem so bad. Title: Re: Yak-2 1/48 Mars Models Post by: Ohotnyik on August 02, 2015, 08:33:06 PM Hello,
I am lucky to have both the Yak-2 and Yak-4. I could examine them already and I can say they are really well done. However they are Short-Run but real good quality. The surface is beautiful but on the small parts there are flashes, and both have a photo edged sheet. I hope that the MARS will not be satisfied with this success and we could get the Short-Run produced Russian planes kits preferably the R-10; Di-6; MBR-2; Sh-2; Kor-1; Be-2; B2-4;Jak-6;G-11;A-7 ?types. By the way I could succeed to buy the Yak-9 DD. For he first view I like it but I wait very much the other alternatives of the Jak-9 which would give more painting options. Istv?n Title: Re: Yak-2 1/48 Mars Models Post by: Troy Smith on August 03, 2015, 04:42:51 AM Hello, I am lucky to have both the Yak-2 and Yak-4.

Istv?n Hi Istv?n well, I looking forward to a 1/48 Yer-2 ;) regarding the Yak-9DD, Sergey Kosachev of Vector resin points out in this thread http://www.network54.com/Forum/149674/thread/1434464975 Quote This Yak-9 is the best on the market, as to the colorfull options you will not find them for DD variant. There are only 2 pictures of the Yak-9DD I aware of and they have only numbers and red spinners. On the other hand you can easily get any late model Yak-9 (T/K/M) from DD. You should to fill 2 additional fuel tanks on the lower wing surface, and the fuel caps for them on the upper surface: [ (http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f170/KosachevSergey/1432588370_a11.jpg) kit also have extra spinner for a Yak-9T. Concerning the decals, if you'll wait a little, Begemot will release a huge sheet for 100+ variants soon. It'll be in the same vein as their sheets for I-16, Yak-3, Su-2, Po-2 and Yak-7: http://www.begemotdecals.ru/showpos.php?〈=2&pic=1&id=110 Sergey. HTH T |
