SOVIET WWII FIGHTER
1:48 SCALE PLASTIC KIT
INTRODUCTION The Yak-3 was the best fighter Yakovlev produced during WW 2 and there is no doubt that, together with Lavochkhin La-7, it was the best Russian fighter of the WW 2 period, the real Russian acemaker. The successful Yak-'s wooden airframe was lightened and fitted with a new WK 105 PF engine (1240 HP) in 1943. The early series aircraft, with one 20mm ShVAK canon and one 12,7 mm UBS machine gun (late production aircraft had two UBS guns), it reached the front lines in June 1944. Although it was a typical Russian "wooden" aircraft, with spartan cockpit and poor radio and navigation equipment, the Yak-3 was an excellent front line combat fighter, extremely maneuverable,and with a very good rate of climb and speed (646 km/h at 4100 m). Up to 5000 m, where most dogfights on the eastern front occurred, the Yak-3 was tough opponent to all German fighters and especially the experienced guards pilots got many kills with their Yak-3s. In total 4848 Yak-3s were produced, with 4111 being built before the war ended. wing span lenght take-off weight max. speed

ÚVOD Jak -3 byla nejlepší Jakovlevova stíhaèka vyrábìná za 2.sv.války a bezesporu to byla, spolu s Lavoèkinem La-7, nejlepší ruská stíhaèka 2.sv.války vùbec, skuteèný ruský tvùrce es. Úspìšný døevìný drak Jaku-1 byl v roce 1943 odlehèen a doplnìn novým motorem VK 105 PF o výkonu 1240 k. První sériové stroje, vyzbrojené jedním kanónem ŠVAK ráže 20 mm a jedním kulometem ráže 12,7 mm, pøišly na frontu v èervnu 1944. Aèkoli to bylo typické ruské "døevìné" letadlo, se spartánsky vybaveným pilotním prostorem a chudým rádiovým a navigaèním vybavením, Jak3 byla vynikající frontová soubojová stíhaèka, extrémnì obratná, s dobrou stoupavostí a rychlostí (646 km/hod v 4100 m). Vìtšina sériových letadel mìla zesílenou výzbroj jednoho 20 mm kanónu a dvou 12,7 mm kulometù. V bojové hladinì do 5000 m byl Jak-3 tvrdým soupeøem pro všechny nìmecké stíhaèky, a pøedevším zkušení gardoví piloti na nich dosahovali øady sestøelù. Celkem bylo postaveno 4848 Jakù-3, z toho za války 4111. rozpìtí délka vzletová hmotnost max.rychlost pøi zemi

Guards Lieutenant Colonel Boris Nikolaevich Yeryomin, 31st GIAP, Prague, Czechoslovakia, May, 1945
A
Major B. N. Yeryomin received from 'Saratov kolchoz farmer Ferapont Petrovich Golovatyi' two Yaks with inscriptions. The first was a Yak-1, delivered in December 1942. He successfully fought in this aircraft along with some of his colleagues from his unit up to May, 1944, when it was decided to allocate the aircraft to the city of Saratov for display. As a replacement, B. N. Yeryomin received the second machine, a Yak-3, directly from Saratov on May 29, 1944. He fought in this aircraft progressively from the Ukraine all the way to Germany. Over the span of 342 combat flights, he gained six aerial victories. In August, 1945, this aircraft was picked out for participation in a display of aerial strength in Moscow. This plane was preserved, and remained on display in Moscow until the nineties. The appearance of this Yak changed with time. The dedication inscriptions 'Ot Feraponta Petrovicha Golavatovo vtaroy samolyot na akanchatyelniy razgrom vraga' (From Ferapont Petrovich Golovatyi, 2nd machine for the final destruction of the enemy) changed over the course of service, and by the end of the war, they were different on both sides of the fuselage from those when initially delivered, and small victory stars were added to denote kills by B. N. Yeryomin. In all, he got 23 kills over some seventy combat flights, fourteen of which were gained on the two dedicated birds. Among other awards, he received the Gold Star of the hero of the Soviet Union. H317 317

Lieutenant Semyon Ivanovich Rogovoi, 64th GIAP, 2nd Baltic Front, Fall, 1944
Although this is a relatively well known and often illustrated aircraft, details of it and its pilot, Lt. S. I. Rogovoi, are more obscure. According to memoirs, this Yak3 was dedicated to him for his role in the saving of a vessel in the Amursk flotilla. Semyon I. Rogovoi served with the 64th GIAP / 4th GIAD from October 1944 to May, 1945 as a flight leader, and by the end of the war, he gained a minimum of five confirmed kills. The aircraft carried, with minor variation, a striking marking with a dedication inscription on both sides of the fuselage, reading 'Semyonu Rogovomu at amurskich krasnoflotsev' (' to Semyon Rogovoi from members of the Amursk Red Flotilla') The red spinner and rudder stripe were unit markings typical of the time for the 64th GIAP. The color stripes are often described as yellow, but it is possible that they were in white. The aircraft was built at Factory No. 292 in Saratov.

Lieutenant Colonel Anton Dmitrievich Yakimenko, 151st GIAP, Czechoslovakia, May, 1945
This illustration of A. D. Yakimenko's Yak-3 is based on a photograph of the starboard side of the aircraft. The photograph was taken on a Czechoslovak airfield at the end of the war. The nose of the aircraft was red with an exclamation mark, the purpose of which is not clear, and a marking of a flag with the inscription 'Na rodinu s pabedoj' (For the Fatherland with victory). Yakimenko was made Hero of the Soviet Union for his successes in combat against the Japanese over Khalkhin-Gol. The beginning of the Great Patriotic War saw him as a Major on the border of Romania. His previous experiences in combat allowed him to quickly gain a kill over an He-111. His successes continued throughout the GPW and over the course of 1,055 combat missions, he took part in 92 air combats, and shot down 30 enemy aircraft (other sources claim 38 and 15). Some of his successes came while serving with a special fighter group 'Metch' (Sword), operating over Kursk. He remained with the Soviet Air Force, and was progressively promoted to higher rank. He sat in a cockpit for the last time at the end of 1972. ÈESKOU VERZI TEXTU NALEZNETE NA www.eduard.com/info/photos/8089 H13 3

Generalmajor Georgii Nefyodovich Zakharov, 303rd IAD, East Prussia, Fall, 1944
D
Generalmajor G. N. Zakharov flew this Yak-3 over East Prussia in the fall of 1944. The aircraft carried a lightning flash on the fuselage, identifying it as an aircraft of the 303rd Fighter Division, and the emblem on the fuselage was painted by members of the Normandie-Niemen, which was in this division, and is a reference to their favorite CO as 'St. George' (Georgii). The spinner was painted in an atypical manner. The left profile is based on a period photograph, and the left one, along with the exact colors, are not certain. G. N. Zakharov took part in combat during the Spanish Civil War in the services of the Spanish Republican air force, and in combat against the Japanese in China. Over the course of the Second World War, he flew 153 combat missions, seeing combat 48 times, and downing a total of 22 enemy aircraft. In April, 1945, he was awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union. He continued serving in different high ranking staff positions, after the war. ÈESKOU VERZI TEXTU NALEZNETE NA www.eduard.com/info/photos/8089 H317 317
