Yak-7 Unknown Squadron Aircraft History : The Soviet Yakovlev Yak-7 was developed from the earlier Yak-1 fighter , initially as a trainer but converted into a "heavy" fighter. As both a fighter and later reverting to its original training role, the Yak-7 proved to be a capable aircraft and was well-liked by air crews. The Yak-7 proved to be an effective close support fighter although the first two-seaters were considered nose-heavy, consequently, the factory introduced a rear cockpit fuel tank. Pilots complained about the fuel tank's vulnerability since it was unarmoured, and it was usually removed in the field. T were constant changes to the design based on combat observations including a definitive single-seat variant, the Yak-7B which was produced in large numbers.After the war, some Yak-7V trainers were provided to the Poles and a single Yak-7V was delivered to the Hungarians for familiarization with the Yak-9 fighter.References from (Wikipedia) The Model : The model is a ICM kit and required a lots of work including sanding, filling, lots of adjusting etc.Model itself consisted of many parts and it was quite difficult and time taking to build.
