Some assembly and painting is requried (no decals)
Available : January 2011
Price: $14 USD
The Yakovlev Yak-38 (Russian: Як-38, NATO reporting name: Forger) was Soviet Naval Aviation's first and only operational VTOL strike fighter aircraft.

This is a most welcome model. I think we are seeing the way of the future for 1/144 scale short runs. Though, there will always be us dinosaurs still working in RTV and A B resins. Now, where did I put that spray can of mold release... .
