It was revealed at a recent toy and hobby expo in Russia that the following will be released in 2022:
Yak-9 - 1/72 - Zvezda
Yak-9 - 1/48 - Zvezda
Yak-9 - 1/32 - ICM
A kit to please everyone's scale preference, if all of them are produced. I expect more details might appear on Scalemodels.ru at some point, but I haven't taken more than a quick look so far, and I probably looked in the wrong subforum. Needless to say, I'm quite glad to see the 1/72 announcement! I'm guessing it will be part of Zvezda's easy-assembly series; if so, it will probably be a Yak-9D, with no chance of other VK-105 variants, but it's very welcome and converting it to a Yak-9T should be possible, depending on how the kit is designed. Who knows - maybe they'll include two fuselages in the kit, like ICM did, long ago.
Maybe this will even inspire other manufacturers to cut themselves a slice of the 1/72 Yak-9 pie!
