Arma Hobby has released their new tool Yak-1b “Expert Set” model kit in 1/72 scale.
The kit (70027) reportedly includes new plastic parts (metal molds), photo-etched parts, canopy/wheel masks and marking options for six aircraft.
The company describes the kit as “the first long-run set of metal moulds manufactured since the 1980s” and notes that its design incorporated “the experience from the Hurricane Mk I, an aeroplane with similar construction, but a larger one than Yak. We hope that easier assembly and a higher level of detail meets your expectations.”
