Yak-9

Here is a picture of the Yak-9 with an EasyModel Yak-3 behind it. As with all IXO, the panel lines are heavy. The top of both wings as well as plastic main landing gear had oil on them. There is also oil in the wing/fuselage and horizontal tailplane/fuselage joints. The canopy does not seat completely down on the fuselage, but the gap is not too obvious.

I was again pleasantly surprised to have no problem attaching the landing gear. This is a positive trend first noted on the Il-2. Plus the pitot tube was also correctly aligned with the wing leading edge!
