Yakovlev Yak-7 & Yak-7b profiles

[Massimo Tessitori]

Hi Misos, as you wants, but the number on the tail is 7, not a general plane.

Hi Massimo,
here are 2 pictures of the same tail from the right:


Different positions of the black blotch are apparent.
However, on the left photo the white digit "7" is clearly visible, but on the right photo the white digit "7" is not visible. Visible part of the inscription is "K...bassa" e.g. Kuzbassa, so it should be the same plane "Komsomol Kuzbassa"
My picture is much closer to the left photo with the digit "7", at least to the right from the star. The side to the left from the star in not visble at all.

The left-side profile is already reworked/corrected and replaced in my previous posts.

Hi Misos,
the photo on the right seems numbered 1.

Hi Massimo,
that white line (stick) on the right photo seems to be indicator of the open landing gear, and it is too far from the leading edge of the tail.

Here is finished the view from the top:

Hi Misos,
it could be a stick, but where is the number then?
The top view looks excellent.

Hi Massimo,
thank you.

...where is the number then?

Number was euther added or deleted latter. Here at this page there are two profiles of the "Komsomol Kuzbassa" - one with and one withoui tail number "7".
Anyhow, I have another question. Position lights on the wings were on Yaks whole red/green or were transparent without color and only a bulbs inside were red/green? And was it same on all Yaks (1,7,9 and 3)?





UTI has colored whole light.
Other Yaks on the photos looks like they have transparent plexiglass cover with colored bulb, but almost on all pictured they are painted with colored the whole plexiglas cover.

Hi Misos,
good question, I don't know.
Yak-3 of Bourget is visible here:
http://scalemodels.ru/modules/photo/viewcat.php?id=11684&cid=343&min=48&orderby=dateA&show=12
Russian Yak-1b and Polish Yak-9P in museum lack of the piece.
There should be a Bulgarian Yak-9 to look for, and two Yak-9s in Russian museums.

Could be both with a transparent dome and with color, everything depends at what plant collected

Hi Johan,
thank you for reply. So I made it according to the photo, which shows the big white shining plexi cover.
Here is finished view from the bottom on the Yak-7A:

Hi Massimo,
thank you. I have also reworked navigation lights on the other views of this plane and replaced pictures in my previous posts.

Hi,
here is finished Yak-7B, early version.
EDIT: corrected picture:
I have found interpretation of this plane also with the red area under the victory starlets, within Begemot decals too. So I finally decided for red area:


This is original:

Hi Misos,
beautiful work. The photo is new to me.
I think that the number 39 should be a bit wider (not higher) and moved to the front. The 3 intersects the black band in different way.

Hi Massimo,
thank you for comment. I put photo over profile and adjusted its size, proportions and perspective to fit as much as possible to the profile (fuselage, panels, hatch) and reworked size and relative positions of the black area, no. 39 and star accordingly. I replaced picture in my previous post.
