The Yakovlev Yak-18 became a cornerstone trainer for the Soviet Air Force after its 1945 design by Aleksandr S. Yakovlev. It replaced earlier types such as the UT-2 and Yak-5 and is recognised for using the Shvetsov M-11 radial engine together with a retractable tailwheel layout that simplified upkeep. The type was widely used in military flying schools and has persisted in various forms over time.
Trumpeter's 1:32 representation of the Yak-18 Max delivers a finely detailed kit that lets model builders recreate the classic trainer. With accurate shapes and scale-appropriate fittings, this kit suits display builds and those who collect period aircraft models.
