Sovietwarplanes

Hi,
Czech company Special Hobby prepares Yak-3 in the 1/32 scale for the second half of this year.
These shots are Norimberk fair http://www.mpmkits.net/2016/02/jak-3-132-pripravujeme-na-druhou.html (http://www.mpmkits.net/2016/02/jak-3-132-pripravujeme-na-druhou.html)

Here was discussion about accuracy http://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=97&t=100952 (http://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=97&t=100952) Although in Czech language, pictures are self-explanatory.

There also were questions (and proposals) about camouflage schemes. Answer: "Not all confirmed yet, but it is certain that in one box will be N-N Albert's "White 6":

Excellent.  I look forward to these!

Very nice! Now if only they'd do a few Lavochkins, like the LaGG-3 or La-5FN. Still, it's always nice to see some (any) VVS subjects in 1/32nd scale plastic.

Hi Misos,
it looks good. Is there any review online of this?

Hi Massimo,
no review, it is still in the development phase, CAD pictures of the cockpit were posted two weeks ago at http://www.specialhobby.net/2016/04/sh32011-yak-3-3d-cockpit-132.html (http://www.specialhobby.net/2016/04/sh32011-yak-3-3d-cockpit-132.html):

Hi Johann,
what errors have you found?
I know that the kit of Eduard was wrong too. Do this kit replicate the same errors, or new ones?

Massimo
