I was reading about her today and got the bug. I see the Accurate
Miniatures had one in 1/48, but it doesn't appear they have any now. Any
other sources for this kit? Or do I resort to the various shows and ebay
for the hunt?

Thanks!

Eduard reboxed the AC Yak-1. Might be easier to find, but I don't
remember if Litvyak markings are included.

I wrote this pre-build review for Internet Modeler, and scanned the
decal sheet for that. Hope it's helpful:

Back in 2001, I wrote:
