Title: Need 3 views of the Yak 18P as depicted in Sig kit.
Post by: Chris McMillin on August 05, 2008, 12:47:45 AM

The kit has a 4 view of the Yak 18PM with aft cockpit and 2 degree dihedral wing.
The most colorful all red topped version with gold numbers and white trim, 6 degrees of dihedral and forward mounted cockpit version in which the kit has all decals included for, isn't drawn.
Any ideas are appreciated.

Hi Tom,
I don't have the American Modeler version here with me, but the MAN drawing is the wrong one. The Yak 18 trainer drawings are worth a look.
Thanks,
Chris...

Bob Banka has several 3-views listed for the YAK 18 variants.  You might check with him to see if he has what you are looking for.

Thanks Keith,
I will. The drawings I am looking for are an old Air International drawing that is reproduced on a plan plate for the kit. It isn't optimal, but it does have a drawing of the forward cockpit, greater dihedral Yak 18P from 1961-1963 in which I am in search of a drawing.
Even if Bob doesn't have what I want, I have what I need to present a legal documentaton.
