Anyone know if any there are any kits for the Yak-38 Forger other than the 1/72 Revell Kit? Mainly looking for a 1/48 scale.
Thanks in advance.
Never heard of this company, but here’s one on eBay, and here’s a link to the page at the company’s site. Scroll down a bit and it’s there.
It’s a vacuform kit from a place called Don’s Works… 1/48 scale.
I know you’re looking primarily for 1/48, but I found another 1/72 kit in a LHS in Germany from a Japanese company called Tsukuda. Looks to be a pretty decent kit, recessed panel lines and even two tiny lift jet engines. Its probaby OOP (the decal sheet was copywrited 1989), and I haven’t seen one since. Also, I haven’t seen the Revell kit, so they may be one in the same given all the mold sharing these days. Might be able to find one on ebay, if you’re interested.
I don’t know about the Tsukuda kit, but the Revell and Kangnam 1/72 Forgers are the same.
The most accurate Forger in 1/72, though not easy to build, is the Amodel kit. They make both a single seat and two seat variant. Lots of parts and lots of clean up. Not for those with limited patience or attention spans. On the plus side, I have seen it built up into a very beautiful replica of the type.
I’ve heard of the afformentioned 1/48 Wings kit and that it may have serious innacuracies as it was produced before the end of the Cold War and the Socialist era.
Have you paid a visit to the Linden Hill web site? If not, you should. They specialize in Russian and Eastern European produced model kits and supplies, you may find some helpful information there.
