About product

Yakovlev Yak-55M 1:72 (Amodel)

This kit in 1:72 scale captures the Yak-55M version, the aerobatic special with clipped wings. It is an injection-molded plastic model from the Ukrainian brand Amodel; the package holds parts in gray plastic, a clear canopy and a decal sheet. The kit has separately molded control surfaces.

The real subject

The Yak-55M is a single-seat competition aerobatic aircraft derived from the Yak-55. The clipped wing gives it an exceptional roll rate and sharp handling, thanks to which it was one of the mainstays of aerobatic teams and collected a number of successes at world championships. It competed with aircraft such as the Sukhoi Su-26, the Su-31 and the Extra 300.

Building and painting tips

Amodel makes short-run kits, so count on cleaning the parts up and fitting them dry before gluing. Use thin cement for plastic, fill the joints and sand them back. Apply a primer before the covering finish; the varied competition schemes come out well with an airbrush and careful masking. Glue the clear canopy on only at the end of the build.

Who the model is for

  • enthusiasts of sport and aerobatic aircraft
  • collectors of Yakovlev aircraft in 1:72 scale
  • modelers with experience of short-run kits

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
