Model samolotu Avis 72039 Yak-20 w skali 1/72

The plastic model Avis 72039 Yak-20 1/72 is an exceptional choice for aircraft modelers passionate about both Soviet aviation and lesser-known postwar designs. This is a faithfully reproduced plastic model kit representing the prototype light training and sports aircraft Yak-20 (Yak-20), designed in the USSR just after the end of World War II.

Historical Details and Application

The Yak-20 was developed at the Yakovlev Design Bureau (OKB Yakovlev) in 1949 as a modern, economical trainer aircraft for flying clubs and the military. The aircraft featured an all-metal construction and an M-11FR piston engine, offering economical fuel consumption and good handling characteristics. Unfortunately, the Yak-20 never entered mass production due to the availability of other, more advanced training aircraft. It was used exclusively during its testing phase, shortly after World War II, in the early years of the so-called Cold War.
