Just when I decided not to get any more kits until I have finished at least three projects, I got this kit as a gift. Well, the kit was free, the aftermarket sets were not...
The Yakovlev C-11 was used in the Hungarian People's Army as a trainer under the name 'Ölyv' (pronounced 'ˈøjv'), meaning Buzzard - a bit more appealing than its NATO code name 'Moose'.
AFAIK no color photos exist of the aircraft in the original Hungarian livery. The aircraft I intend to build is number 19, which can be found restored to its former glory in the Szolnok RepTár aviation museum.

Thomas Kolb Judging by the unassembled kit, it looks really neat, with a well thought out molding gate pattern and no particular flash. Some ejector pin parks here and there, but at hidden places. The interior is a bit sparse, but I ordered aftermarket stuff for it. The canopy is a one piece affair (closed), so I ordered a vac-formed open canopy. The decals look outstanding. It should be a pretty simple build really (but a rather ugly aeroplane).

Łukasz Gliński Can't disagree more on your last comment 😛
