A-Model 72200 Soviet aerobatic aircraft Yakovlev Yak-55M 1/72

The A-Model 72200 Soviet aerobatic aircraft Yakovlev Yak-55M plastic model kit in 1/72 scale is an excellent choice for aviation enthusiasts, especially those fond of Soviet and Russian designs. This kit depicts the famous single-seat aerobatic aircraft built by the Yakovlev Design Bureau for advanced competition flying.

The Yakovlev Yak-55M is an improved version of the Yak-55, designed in the USSR specifically for pilots participating in international aerobatic competitions. The aircraft made its debut in the late 1970s, while the Yak-55M version entered production in 1989. The upgraded design, featuring a shortened wingspan and reinforced airframe, allowed for even more demanding aerobatic maneuvers. The Yak-55M was widely used by Soviet and later Russian aerobatic teams, as well as individual pilots around the world, earning numerous awards at world championships, especially during the 1990s (Cold War period and modern times).
