Hi Massimo, I am not sure. There was clear subject and deadline, so I was "pushed". I started some MiG-3s but I got frozen there. Originally I wanted to do also some Lavochkins to have all main VVS fighters in "my style" - a lot of plans, but almost zero internal motivation now. So we will see in the future. Regards, 66misos

Hi Misos, I hope that you will find enthusiasm again for this. Eventually, we'll speak of this some day, after I'll have (slowly) completed my work on Lavochkins. Regards Massimo

The Yak-9 versions page http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/yak9/versions/versions.htm is very welcome, and provides a simple way of educating people regarding the differences between VK-105- and VK-107-powered Yak-9s. Several times my suggestions regarding the desirability of a new Yak-9 kit in 1/72 scale have been answered with, "Amodel already makes Yak-9s". True, but they don't represent the main GPW VK-105 versions of the Yak-9, they are the later VK-107-powered Yak-9U and the postwar Yak-9P. Thank you, Michal and Massimo! John

Hi John, the only fairly good Yak-9 kit in 1/72 was of Dakoplast. I built one a lot of years ago, and then the firm disappeared. The ICM has serious problems. Do you know further kits? Let's forget the Airfix one, of course. Regards Massimo

Dakoplast Yak-9's were re-issued in boxes with "MODELIST" on it and was also re-popped with the name "Eastern Express" name on them.
trust me ! I have them in all three boxes. :thumbsup:

Hi Misos, beautiful profile indeed. If you look at the stabilizer fillet and the mast from the photo, I think that all the ensemble of markings should be a bit reduced in size. Besides a small angle of the bolt should be overposed to the outline of the red star. Regards Massimo

Great job, but the spinner should be spiralled (likely red color) http://ava.org.ru/iap/900/nos_900_iap.jpg

Hi, my impression of the spinner background is black. Besides the outline of the tail star looks black too. Regards Massimo

Hi, I saw that picture at the link I posted together with the profile. I agree with the very last post there https://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/board/index.php?topic=2283.15. One alternative is partially red spinner with white ring: You suggest the second alternative - red (or black?) spinner with white spiral (btw, it looks like late Bf-109): However, is it really spinner from Yak-9M? If yes, then gun is probably removed, compare it with other Yak-9M https://www.armedconflicts.com/Yakovlev-Yak-9M-t33562: Another alternative is the most conservative - standard grey spinner. I chose this alternative until photo showing the whole Golovachev's appears. Regards, 66misos
