Yak 38 Forger

[Hman]

Any recommedations for kits of the Forger?

Seems like an ideal Whiff subjet to me...

Thanks

Have to agree with Duncan there.  The Revell ship builds up ok, I'd expect the Hobbycrap to live up to it's name, but then there's always A-Model, who also do a -38U IIRC.

Expect the Hobbycrap to take a few years of PSR...

I've also seen a Forger in Zhengdefu or Kitech boxing, not sure of its origin though.

The Amodel kit is probably the most accurate, but its a bear and a half to get together. Its also a bit expensive for wiffing in my view.

The A Model kit is by far the most accurate but, like Upnorth says, it's not a fun build. A Model also do a two seat version but, while this has the correct extended nose, they've completely omitted to add in the large fuselage plug to the rear of the wing!

The Revell kit is easy to build but isn't that accurate, especially round the intakes. However, it does look like a Forger when it's built and modifying this kit may well be easier than building the A model version.

The Hobbycraft kit is very poor but might be a good basis for whiffing. I've seen the Kitech boxing (where "Forger" has been translated as "Blacksmith"  ) and this appears to be the Hobbycraft kit.

Thanks for all the info - I found three here...http://www.kitkrazy.com/

The Revell kit is 1/100?

    Also 1/72.

Thanks - I think I will stick with 1/72...my eyes arn't what they used to be!

The hobbycraft kit has okay fit and goes together without an insane amount of psr. At least mine did.

As for accuracy ah well..... it's what-if, right?

Just agree with this statement. The canopy is thick and squarred!
