Cool Let's build- The kit

This model of the Yak 19 is in 1/33 scale and is basically very similar to the Yak 25 and 30 design. Same layout of parts and instruction. So if you build one you can repeat the process that produces variation of the plane.

The Yak-19 was a first generation version jet designed for the installation of a jet engine located in the center fuselage in back of the pilot ( unlike the Yak 15,17, 21 which were basically propeller aircraft with a jet engine in the nose ).

The layout was still straight wings and tail. However the Yak 25 had swept back tail and the Yak 30 swept the wings as well. As it turned out this design lose to the Mig 15 design which was a bit larger and more capable plane.



The kit is rendered very simply and there is no color variation. The original planes were bare metal. The kit is light grey. My only comment is that the numbers and national stars did not need to appear worn out since these were experimental prototypes and are so plain, that you need clear bold colors.

The instructions are computer generated and very clear.

This is a good kit for builders having some experience with model planes. However, it is relatively simple to build
