The Yak 36 has been around a while. I think Martin H has one.

Not sure if they are all re-pops or origional tools. Might be interested in the Bearcat  :thumbsup:

Hmm, might go for the BV155 and the Yak 36.

Looking at the sprue shots of the Ta 152H and the Bv 155 on ebay, I'd say they're pirate toolings - Dragon Ta 152H and MPM/Special Hobby Bv 155.  The latter is still available and the Ta 152 is nowhere near as good as the Aoshima kit.  That's not generally available but I've seen tham about.

That BV155 would look fantastic with swept wings - Me262?

I've got the Yak-36.  It looks like a really nice kit.

Was it he who built one here ? It's an a/c I learned of here...and have like ever since ! Looks like a carp or a catfish to me....maybe more catfish. And a 17 pound kit is only 26 CDN ? No wonder my father-in-law has been buying the GBP ! Maybe I should ask him if I can borrow a few....

Having seen the Bv 155 in the plastic, I'm convinced it's a copy of the Special Hobby kit.  As for the Ta 152, save yourselves a few bob and go straight for the Aoshima kit.  Easier to build too.

The yak is a good kit, don't know if its a copy of any one Else's tool thou.

Hi all!
Although the ArtModel's Ta 152 is actually based on the Dragon kit and Bv 155 with Bearcat on the Czech kits, the Yak-36 is fully original tooling. Here is the review - it's written in Ukrainian but you can see photos of the kit parts.
And ArtModel claims their next kit would be Yak-141 Freestyle!

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

I'll Echo Moritz's reaction to the news a new Yak 1541 is coming out and an IM one. I built the Anigrand one a while ago and it was a collossal pain in the rear!
