Yakovlev Yak-3. "24 Blue"
Yak-3 18 Guards Fight. Regt. 303 Fight. Div. 1945.

Another old Hasegawa mould, which means it will be sparse in details but easy to assemble. Almost straight from the box with only scratch additions to the cockpit and main gear wells, which are the weakest points of the model along with the omission of the fuel gauge on the starboard wing.
Decals by Authentic Decals (very thin and prone to cracking). Painted with the usual Gunze, Tamiya and Aclad, plus Vallejo and Molotow in the small details with a brush. Varnished with Winsor & Newton Galleria.
It represents an aircraft of the 18th Assault Regiment, 303rd Fighter Division on the Belorussian Front. 1944/45.
