Title: 812th IAP - any grey Yak-9Ts? Post by: warhawk on July 27, 2020, 12:17:01 PM 812th IAP logo seems interesting to portray on a model.
But all I can find is green/black cammo birds: (http://ava.org.ru/iap/812/yak9t_39_popov_prof.png) (http://ava.org.ru/iap/812/yak9t_48_mashenkin_prof.png) source: ava.org.ru (http://ava.org.ru/iap/812.htm) What I'd like to know is, are there any grey/grey -9Ts of this unit, that can be confirmed wearing this 'winged star' emblem on the nose?

Utkin includes two colour profiles of 812 IAP grey/grey Yak-9T's with the 3 IAK winged star nose emblem, so they must have existed. These aircraft have a slightly different, so-called "Crimean era", version of the emblem with more red in it than the ones in your profiles, but...

here is a profile and photo of Yak-9K of this unit. I don't know if it is the same for your needs. http://airfield.narod.ru/yak/yak-9/yak-9_color_j.html (http://airfield.narod.ru/yak/yak-9/yak-9_color_j.html) Regards Massimo Title: Re: 812th IAP - any grey Yak-9Ts?

Again I wonder when some brave kit manufacturer will release a whole series of Yak-9's in 1/72. Modelsvit seems to be doing a good job on 1/48. John Title: Re: 812th IAP - any grey Yak-9Ts? Post by: Dark Green Man on July 29, 2020, 09:01:42 PM that Yak-3 at the bottom of the 812 iap webpage is pretty good:thumbsup: a spiral on the spinner and a small red star , too !

It seems the emblem was adapted to a 'red-er' version once they switched to grey-grey scheme. Regards, Aleksandar |
