The Yakovlev Yak-18, drawn up in 1945 by Aleksandr S. Yakovlev, replaced earlier trainers such as the UT-2 and Yak-5 in primary flight instruction. It typically featured the Shvetsov M-11 radial engine and a retractable tailwheel arrangement, which contributed to its straightforward maintenance and training suitability.
Trumpeter's 1:32 Yak-18 Max kit reflects the aircraft's proportions and panel detail, giving modellers the parts required to assemble an accurate representation. It is a solid choice for those building historical displays or expanding a period-focused collection.
