looks excellent and impressive, I'll buy it for sure. I wonder if they will scale down their Lavochkins, replacing the obsolete mold bought from Italeri.

I'd like to see that in 1/32nd scale, where VVS aircraft are so poorly represented.

http://www.ipmsdeutschland.de/FirstLook/Zvezda/Pre_Jak-3/Pre_Zvezda_Jak-3.html Very impressive; one thing I noticed which surprised me a bit is how much some of the main parts resemble those in the Zvezda 1/72 Yak-3. Before anyone makes the obvious joke, I mean the way the parts are designed, not how the parts from both kits look so much like a Yak-3... ;) (I'm also a bit disappointed by the one-piece prop/spinner, and the way the radiator air outlets on the underside of the wing are molded as part of the wing and not as separate parts. This is exactly like the 1/72 kit, and even in 1/72 it was disappointing. But it's a small complaint, and not that hard to change.) Too bad the 1/72 kit doesn't have all that beautiful engine section detail! John Title: Re: a new Yak-3 from Zvezda at 1/48 scale!

It'd be great to have a kit in 1/72nd scale that shows the motor cannon. Regards, Jason |
