The Yakovlev Yak-18 was designed in 1945 by Aleksandr S. Yakovlev to modernise pilot training after the UT-2 and Yak-5. Powered historically by the Shvetsov M-11 radial engine and fitted with a retractable tailwheel, the type earned a reputation for straightforward maintenance and reliable handling in training roles.
This 1:32 Trumpeter kit recreates the Yak-18 Max with attention to proportion and surface detail. It is aimed at hobbyists who value historically faithful models and who enjoy assembling a kit that yields a convincing museum-style result.
