Ark Models 1/48 Yak 9

[Builder]

Hello All,

This is my completed Yak 9 in 1/48 scale from Ark Models. It is a rebox of an ICM kit.


It was a joy to build. A very simple kit with a bit of filling, and sanding to do. I lost some of the landing gear doors so these had to be scratch built. The kit is OOB with some PE Seatbelts and a bit of scratch built cylinders and which I placed in the cockpit and some other scratch built stuff in the cockpit too.
It is painted with Humbrol enamels and Tamiya enamels. I have done slight post and preshading, although it is very difficult to see in pics.
The pics do not it justice, but the video does. As always I am not concerned with historical accuracy but more so with the finish and the build.

Nice result. Camo' is a bit different (to me) which enhances the build even more.

Lovely job bob , its a great kit isnt it , i did the ICM yak9t with the big cannon and the longer nose , which is basically the same kit. I think the Yak family of kits all started out from the same maker but im not sure which , theyve appeared in ICM , Alanger , Ark and Signum boxes and possibly others. Cheers tony
