Trumpeter 06217 Yak-141 Freestyle: Compact Model Brief

The Trumpeter 06217 Yak-141 Freestyle kit offers a concise but faithful miniature of a noteworthy Soviet VTOL project. At 1:350 scale the model is designed to reproduce key visual elements while remaining small enough for tight displays.

Notable Engineering Features

The Yak-141 stood out for its VTOL concept, integrating lift systems and movable exhausts to enable vertical operations. This kit reflects those engineering cues through parts that represent folding wings and a clear cockpit hood.

Assembly Considerations and Finish

Measuring 50mm in length with a 29mm wingspan, the set is laid out across six sprues and includes 16 plastic parts per aircraft. Molded in gray with black landing gear components and a transparent canopy, the kit is ready for painting and light weathering to suit display preferences.

Will this kit fit in a carrier deck diorama?

Yes, its compact dimensions make it easy to place on a carrier deck vignette or alongside other 1:350 naval subjects without overwhelming the scene.

What tools help with fine detail at this scale?

Fine pointed tweezers, a small sanding stick, precision cutters and a fine brush or airbrush are useful. A magnifier helps when handling tiny sprue-mounted parts.

Should I cement the canopy or mask and paint it?

Masking the canopy for paint can produce cleaner results; alternatively glue the canopy last with a clear-drying adhesive to preserve transparency and fit.

Is major sanding required on parts?

Minor cleanup is typical for plastic kits. Remove small mold lines and sprue marks gently to retain fine detail without over-sanding.
