About the Yakovlev Yak-1b

The Yak-1b was an improved variant of the Yak-1 fighter, one of the most successful Soviet aircraft of World War II. Designed by Alexander Yakovlev's design bureau, the Yak-1b featured significant improvements over earlier versions, including a cut-down rear fuselage for enhanced visibility, an all-around vision canopy, improved aerodynamics, and better handling characteristics. These modifications made the Yak-1b one of the most effective Soviet fighters from 1943 onwards.

Powered by the reliable Klimov M-105PF V-12 engine, the Yak-1b excelled in low to medium altitude combat on the Eastern Front. Its light weight and excellent maneuverability made it a favorite among Soviet aces, who appreciated its responsive controls and ability to out-turn German fighters. The Yak-1b played crucial roles in major operations including the Battle of Kursk, the liberation of Ukraine, and the advance into Eastern Europe, helping the Soviet Air Force achieve air superiority over the Eastern Front.

The Expert Set version includes additional photo-etched parts and enhanced details that allow advanced modelers to create highly accurate representations of this historic fighter, capturing the subtle details that made the Yak-1b such an effective combat aircraft.

Perfect for: Advanced modelers interested in WWII Soviet aircraft and expert-level builds with photo-etched details
