Dmitriy Kurushkin’s build of the Yak-130 from Zvezda at 1:72 scale is something that definitely caught my eye today. The first thing that stands out in the photos is the paint job. The vibrant red is smooth and even, making the model feel really alive. The subtle detailing in the panel lines also adds just the right touch to define the aircraft’s sleek design.

Now, the Yak-130 itself has quite an interesting background. First flown in the 1990s, this aircraft was developed as a trainer but also has the versatility to perform light attack roles. From what I’ve heard, it’s one of those jets that aims to give rookie pilots the feel of operating much larger and more complex fighter jets. Pretty neat how it’s playing a dual role, right?

What makes this model particularly fascinating is its combination of detail and simplicity. There’s something special about how Dmitriy captured the essence of the Yak-130 through high precision yet maintaining a clean appearance. For anyone interested in military aircraft or just in awe of striking color schemes, this model is worth a closer look. It really highlights how model building can bring the stories of these machines to life.
