Historical information and application – Yakovlev Yak-38 Forger

The Yakovlev Yak-38 Forger was the first Soviet naval aircraft with thrust vectoring, intended for operations from the decks of Kiev-class aircraft carriers. The aircraft served in the Soviet Navy from the late 1970s—the Cold War period—until the 1990s. It was the USSR's answer to the British Harrier, featuring vertical take-off and landing capabilities that were especially useful in the confined spaces of carrier decks.

Features of the Armory Models AW72022 set

The offered set includes intricately recreated main and nose landing gear wheels. Made entirely from resin, they provide a much higher level of detail compared to standard plastic parts found in model kits. Each wheel faithfully depicts the tread, hub shape, and characteristic bolt patterns. These parts are intended for self-assembly and are suitable for most available Yak-38 kits in 1:72 scale from manufacturers such as Trumpeter, Zvezda, or Modelsvit.

Who is this set recommended for?

This product is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers interested in Cold War aviation who want to enhance the visual realism of their model. It is perfect for dioramas as well as stand-alone model displays. The set is advised for modelers with prior experience working with resin components who wish to emphasize the unique character of the Soviet VTOL.
