Valom 72026 Yak-7PVRD 1/72 – plastic model kit

The Valom 72026 Yak-7PVRD in 1/72 scale is a unique set from the Czech company Valom, dedicated to demanding modellers seeking unusual additions to their aviation collection. The model represents an experimental version of the Soviet Yak-7 fighter, designated PVRD, which was equipped with an additional VRD-430 jet engine tested at the end of World War II.

The Yak-7PVRD was a prototype Soviet aircraft, developed to increase the speed of the conventional fighter by installing a Kołiesnikov-designed JETFAN VRD-430 engine under the wings. Trials were carried out in 1944–1945, but due to the limited efficiency of the jet engine, it never entered serial production. The aircraft was of interest to the Soviet Air Force during the final years of World War II, although the tests were primarily intended to expand the combat capabilities of future designs. Today the Yak-7PVRD remains one of the rarest and most attractive subjects for experimental aviation collectors.

This set from Valom is a plastic model kit intended for self-assembly. The parts are made of high-quality plastic, ensuring precise detail and ease of processing. The kit does not include glue or paints, but allows for your own color scheme and detail personalization. The manufacturer has ensured an accurate reproduction of both the shape of the fuselage and the characteristic VRD-430 engine nacelles.

The kit includes high-quality decals to help replicate the historical markings of the Soviet Air Force from the final years of World War II. This model makes an excellent addition to any collection of experimental aircraft or Soviet machines from this period.
