Bonjour,
Here are a few pictures of my Yak-1b, a full resin model from Montex.

A very pleasant build without any bad surprises (except for the extreme
fragility of the decals), all parts fitting together remarkably well and showing a high level of
detail.
My only modification consisted in
over-moulding the sliding part of the canopy: the original one in clear resin was a bit too thick to allow its
realistic open positioning otherwise.
Then, I enjoyed taking pictures playing with the blue background of the
summer sky and its sun "grazing light"...
I am still hoping for the release of another type of 1/32 scale Yakolev WWII fighters; I'd love to build a Yak-9 or a Yak-3 in the
"Normandie-Niemen" markings in that scale...
Merci! Olivier
