A-Model 72179 Yakovlev Yak-50 and Yak-52 Flieger Revue Aerobatic Team (2 models) 1/72

The A-Model 72179 Yakovlev Yak-50 and Yak-52 Flieger Revue Aerobatic Team model kit in 1/72 scale is an offer aimed at enthusiasts of civil aviation and aerobatic display teams. The set includes two plastic model kits for assembly, representing the Yakovlev Yak-50 and Yak-52 aircraft, painted in the colors of the famous German Flieger Revue aerobatic team.

Yakovlev Yak-50 and Yak-52 are Soviet designs widely used by Warsaw Pact countries and Eastern European nations for pilot training and aerobatic competitions. The Yak-50 appeared in the late 1970s, serving mainly as a single-seat high-performance aircraft that won medals for years at international displays and championships in aerobatics during the Cold War. The two-seater Yak-52, an evolution of the design, debuted in the early 1980s and remains a popular training and aerobatics aircraft worldwide, frequently used by civilian formations as well.

This set allows you to build models that faithfully replicate details of the fuselage, wings, landing gear, and cockpit, in line with the authentic versions used by Flieger Revue—one of Germany’s most renowned aerobatic teams, active from the 1990s to the present day. The kit is made from high-quality plastic ensuring excellent detail accuracy and durability of the assembled model. The box also includes detailed decals with the team’s distinctive markings, enabling realistic finishing of the models.
