1:48 Yak-1/1b exhaust

Yak-1/1b Exhausts 1:48 (Quickboost)

A resin detail part, not an airplane kit. Finely cast resin exhausts (exhaust stubs) that replace the plastic parts from the base kit and give a more faithful exhaust shape to the Soviet Yak-1 fighter in 1:48 scale, including the later Yak-1b version.

The real subject and what the part is for

The Yakovlev Yak-1 was a Soviet single-seat fighter from the early years of the Second World War with a liquid-cooled Klimov V12 engine. It was one of the first modern Soviet fighters and became the basis of the whole successful Yak family. The Yak-1b version brought a cut-down rear fuselage and a better view. The exhaust stubs along the sides of the nose are clearly visible, and hollow resin outlets with a deepened muzzle look far more convincing than solid plastic parts.

Usage tips

• Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue
• Cut off the casting blocks and clean up the surfaces with your airways protected
• Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate); plastic cement does not hold on resin
• Bring out the exhausts with metallic and rusty shades and a dark wash

Who the part is for

• Builders of the Yak-1 fighter (including the 1b version) in 1:48 scale
• Modelers who want faithful exhausts instead of plastic ones
• Advanced modelers with resin experience

This is a resin detail part, not a model. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
