YAK 3U Steadfast Scheme #2 (ARF) | Seagull Models
The Yakovlev Yak-3, renowned for its World War II service, was celebrated by pilots and ground crews alike for its rugged and easily maintainable design. As one of the smallest and lightest major combat fighters of its era, the Yak-3 boasted an exceptional power-to-weight ratio, delivering outstanding performance. Notably, French ace Marcel Albert, who flew with the Normandie-Niémen Group, considered it superior to the P-51D Mustang and the Supermarine Spitfire.
