Trumpeter 06217 Yak-141 Freestyle: Scale Kit Overview

The Trumpeter 06217 Yak-141 Freestyle is a precise 1:350 representation of a distinctive Soviet VTOL project, aimed at modellers who enjoy compact but accurate aircraft reproductions. The kit balances small size with clear surface definition for display use.

Prototype Context and Styling

As a VTOL prototype, the Yak-141 explored lift and vectored thrust solutions that were advanced for its era. The model reflects those design elements through parts that indicate wing folding and a transparent canopy, suggesting its naval intentions.

Construction Notes and Visual Impact

With a length of 50mm and a wingspan of 29mm, the kit is arranged on six sprues and contains 16 plastic pieces per aircraft. The grey-moulded fuselage paired with black undercarriage parts and a clear canopy provides a realistic starting point for painting and final weathering.

The small scale and delicate components mean it is better suited to modellers who have completed a few kits, though a careful newcomer can succeed with good tools and patience.
Use thin washes and a light dry-brushing technique to emphasise panel lines and rivet impressions without obscuring small features.
Apply a clear-drying plastic glue or specialised canopy adhesive sparingly to avoid fogging the clear canopy; use small applicators for control.
