Yak-9K - WWII Soviet Fighter Plane

ICM’s Yak-9K is a 1:32 scale plastic model kit of the formidable WWII Soviet fighter plane, capturing the heavy armament and distinctive lines of this front-line aircraft. The Yak-9K was developed from the Yak-9T and mounted a 45 mm NS-45 cannon firing through the propeller shaft. A prominent muzzle brake absorbed up to 85% of recoil, becoming the aircraft’s most recognisable external feature.

Alongside the cannon, the Yak-9K carried a large-calibre UBS machine gun. The pilot could fire both weapons together or individually, with ammunition comprising 29 cannon rounds and 200 cartridges for the machine gun. Despite its powerful armament—capable of downing enemy aircraft with a single projectile—the type was produced in small numbers due to the underdeveloped 45 mm gun, though it did see frontline combat.
