Introduced in 1945 by Aleksandr S. Yakovlev, the Yakovlev Yak-18 was developed to replace the UT-2 and Yak-5 as a primary trainer. The design typically used a Shvetsov M-11 radial engine and a retractable tailwheel, features that made it durable and easy to service during intensive training use.
Trumpeter's 1:32 Yak-18 Max kit offers builders finely moulded parts and historically informed shapes to recreate the trainer. The kit suits modellers who enjoy working with detailed plastic parts to produce a display-ready scale aircraft.
