Looking for a Yak 1, 7, or 9

I’m looking for a 1/72 Yak 1, 7, or 9. Can anyone recommend a kit? I’ve done a few searches but I’m coming up with other Yaks or other scales.

I was recently looking for suggestions on WW2 Soviet fighters in 1/72.

For the Yak family I was told:

Amodel - Yak-1 and Yak-9U

VES - Yak-3

Hasegawa - Yak-3

Dakoplast - Yak-7

Dakoplast / Eastern Express - Yak-9

I’ve built the Hasegawa Yak-3, a great little kit that went together with no issues. The decals included with mine were a pair of very colourful options, also with no issues. I don’t have it right in front of me, but Hase cockpits are generally pretty sparse, if that factors into your decision. This is the boxing I have…

Looking forward to seeing the Storch. Looks like the Airfix kit would be the easiest to obtain.

If you’re still looking, I have a 1/72 scale ICM Yak-9 that I’m selling off in a stash reduction sale. It’s a bagged kit (no decals, photocopied instructions), but I’m willing to let it go unbelievably cheap.

Let me know if you’re interested.

Thank you, but I have already found one.
