The ICM 1/32 scale Yak-9T is an unassembled plastic model kit of the cannon-armed WWII Soviet fighter. It is built for experienced aviation modelers who want a large, detailed cockpit-scale build.
The Yak-9T fighter was one of the modifications of the Yak-9 aircraft. Its main feature was an automatic gun (NS-37 caliber, 37 mm). The installation of this powerful weapon forced a number of improvements to the design of the base aircraft; in particular, the power frame of the fuselage was strengthened. The NS-37 gun significantly increased the range of fire without reducing the likelihood of the enemy aircraft being hit. Shooting shells with shrapnel equipment allowed them to hit enemy aircraft at a distance of up to 1200 meters. The gun could also hit ground-armored targets. Its armor-piercing projectile could pierce armor up to 30 mm thick, which allowed it to successfully use the aircraft to fight tanks. As an auxiliary weapon, the Yak-9T had a large-caliber machine gun (UBS) with 200 rounds of ammunition. Airplanes were very popular and highly regarded among pilots. In total, from March 1943 to June 1945, 2,748 such fighters were produced.
This kit is unassembled and requires assembly. Cement, paints, and modeling tools are not included and are needed to complete the build.
