Hobby Boss 1:72 Yak-3 Kit Snapshot

The Yak-3 stood out in WWII for its agility at lower altitudes, giving pilots an edge in dogfights under 13,000 feet. This Hobby Boss 1:72 kit reproduces the fighter in a compact package that keeps assembly straightforward while offering fine detail.

Modelling Interest and Key Features
