This plastic model kit of the Yakovlev Yak-40 passenger aircraft in 1/72 scale is designed for self-assembly and painting. The set allows you to build a detailed miniature model of this distinctive three-engine turbojet used in civil aviation.
Product Description
Parts of the model are made from plastic and are mounted on sprues, which need to be carefully cut out, fitted, and glued together according to the included assembly manual. After assembly, the model should be finished with hobby paints following the suggested color scheme. Some details require painting prior to assembly. The set includes a decal sheet that enables precise markings on the model, matching the real aircraft’s identification markings.
