Brief Historical Description

The Yakovlev Yak-7V (NATO code: Yak 7V) was used by the Soviet Union during World War II, especially in the years 1942-1945. Although the original was intended as a fighter, the "V" version (Rus. Uchebnyj – trainer) was developed as a two-seat advanced trainer aircraft for pilot training and combat flight instruction. This model was used both in rear areas and in frontline units, preparing pilots to fly more advanced Yakovlev fighters such as the Yak-9 and Yak-3.

Technical Description and Recommendation

Valom 72019 Yak 7V offers excellent detailing and an accurate reproduction of the original’s shapes, including the wing, fuselage, and cockpit structures.
