An old Airfix kit re-issued, built out-of-the-box as a generic Yak-9D model in a generic VVS camouflage (i.e. there probably wasn't ever a real plane looking just like this). At first the kit looked really, really awful but as I plodded along it started to look a little better. It certainly isn't the most detailled or best looking Yak kit available, but it does capture the look of a Yak-9. The kit suggested camouflage of black-green-blue for the "white 86" is most likely right, but I wanted to try the two-tone grey instead.
