The powerful and agile Yak 50 can be considered one of the great designs in the field of aerobatics: since its appearance in 1973, it has repeatedly written success stories at competitions and was the declared favourite aircraft of [...]
As a kid, the 1/72nd Airfix Defiant was a favorite model. Of all the models that I had, it was the closest to the aircraft represented. Plastic mold was black (and so was the pilot.) The years went by and I started painting the built [...]
