What if? Yak-49M, '14 Rot' der 899. 'Orsha' Garde, Buturlinovka Air Base, 2016

[dizzyfugu]

Das letzte Modell 2015, und es hing wochenlang in den Seilen weil ich auf Aufkleber (Begemot) aus Moskau warten musste.
Die Yak-49M hat eine längere Vorgeschichte und zwei inspirative Quellen. Einmal die kürzlich auch hier gepostete AF-16A, bzw. der Spender der Tragflächen - die Boeing X-32, eines der abgrundhässlichsten Flugzeuge, die jemals den Himmel bevölkerten. Dabei ist das größte "Manko" nur der riesige Lufteinlauf am Bug und der daraus resultierende Kanguru-Bauch. Das ginge sicher anders/besser...? 

Impuls zwei und völlig losgelöst davon war ein modifiziertes CG-Modell der X-32 mit seitlichen Lufteinläufen und in russischen Markierungen, gepostet vom Kollegen im Geiste SPINNERS:

Auch das für meine Begriffe nicht perfekt und mit einigen konstruktiven Fragezeichen (Fahrwerk sehr weit hinten, wo gehen die Lufteinläufe entlang?), aber das war dann der Auslöser für "das geht besser und in Hardware-Form!". Man hat ja einen gewissen Ehrgeiz, Sägen und Spachtel.

Tja, und dies ist nun daraus geworden, aus einer Italeri X-32 (Revell-Re-Boxing):

Als Randnotiz: während des Baus und als der Anstrich für meine Interpretation des Themas feststand, war SPINNERS so nett, das (mittlerweile ebenfalls im Detail verbesserte) CG-Modell im kontemporären Anstrich der Russischen Luftwaffe abzuwandeln:

Some background:
The Yakovlev Yak-49 is a single-seat, twin-engine, all-weather stealth attack aircraft, introduced to the Russian Air Force in 2013. The fifth generation combat aircraft is designed to perform ground attack, aerial reconnaissance, and, to a limited degree, air defense missions. A navalized version is expected to appear soon, too.

The Yak-49, designed by the famous JSC A.S. Yakovlev Design Bureau, today part of the United Aircraft Building Corporation, is the result of a long development line that dates back to the Yak-141 supersonic VTOL fighter and its side projects.
One of these had been the Yak-43 from 1997, a third generation VTOL/STOL fighter with rudimental stealth properties, to follow and eventually replace the Yak-141M. The Yak-43 remained on the drawing board, though, since even the Yak-141 never made it beyond the prototype stage. Nevertheless, the Design Bureau Yakovlev’s experience was not wasted: some of the project's research and VTOL know how with separate lift jets went into Lockheed Martin's X-35/F-35 program for the US Joint Strike Fighter program, and the feedback was put to use in the most recent operational military aircraft, the Yak-49.

Development of the Yak-49 attack aircraft started in 2002. Its specification was tailored to the Russian Air Force needs, which demanded a stealthy and supersonic successor to the highly successful Su-25 ('Frogfoot') and MiG-27 ground attack aircraft, with the potential for a navalized version that could be operated from the Russian ski jump carriers. The aircraft was to be powered by two jet engines and offer improved performance and esp. stealth capabilities in comparison with its 3rd generation forerunners.

Basis were layouts and studies conducted for the VTOL Yak-43, but, compared with the highly ambitious X/F-35 program, the Yak-49 was a much more modest and conventional approach. Simplicity, robustness as well as ease and economy of operation being in focus beyond the aircraft's operational effectiveness.

In order to improve radar cross section, the Yak-49 was to carry at least a part of its ordnance in an internal weapon bay, so that its stealth properties in clean condition would be superior to anything the Russian Air Force had in in its arsenal at the time. The contemporary benchmark was the new Su-34 bomber, rumored to have a radar signature comparable to a cruise missile. And the targets for the Yak-49 were even higher.

The result was a relatively conservative and compact design, a tailless aircraft with clipped delta wings and only two canted fins as tail surfaces. The broad and flat fuselage was designed around the central ventral weapon bay, large enough to carry a wide range of ordnance.

The air intakes were placed at the lower fuselage flanks, under the wings' LERXs where they are partly shielded from the front by pronounced chines that extend up to the aircraft's pointed nose. Ducts for the tail-mounted pair of Klimov RD-33MK jet engines were led around the weapons bay. An unusual feature for a ground attack aircraft were engines' afterburners - but these had been incorporated for better field performance on short airstrips, supersonic dashes and improved agility in the secondary air-to-air combat role. Another simple reason was the commonality of the RD-33MK with other Russian aircraft, like the MiG-35 fighter, as well as its potential naval use without further modifications.

The Yak-49's clipped delta wing was designed around a large single piece of carbon fiber composite material, and many structural elements were fabricated with this material, too, saving weight, improving stiffness and further reducing radar reflection.
The wing had a span of ~11 meters, with a 55-degree leading edge sweep. Integral tanks held up to 20,000 pounds of fuel. The purpose of the high sweep angle was to allow a thick wing section, to be used while still providing limited transonic aerodynamic drag, and to provide a good angle for wing-installed conformal antenna equipment.

All around the hull, radar-absorbing material and coatings reduced the aircraft's radar cross-section. Figures haven't been published yet, but in clean condition the Yak-49 is supposed to have a frontal radar echo that is comparable with a medium-sized bird.

The cockpit was placed far in the front and the pilot enjoyed a rather high position under a wide bubble canopy, offering excellent vision - probably also with foresight towards a navalized version. The robust tricycle landing gear's main parts retract forwards into the thick wing roots, while the front wheel retracts backwards. All wheel elements rotated 90° to lie flat in the hull and occupy as little space as possible.

The first Yak-49 prototype made its maiden flight in April 2009. A second aircraft, featuring 2D vectoring jet nozzles, followed in January 2010, but this machine was quickly lost in an accident in June. A third machine, again with normal engines, was finished in July 2010 and joined the first prototype in the state acceptance trials, which were successfully finished in March 2011.

Series production of the final aircraft, designated Yak-49M (модифицированный = modified), started quickly in late 2011 and incorporated several minor adjustments and enhancements. These included updated avionics, additional kevlar armor for the cockpit and other vital systems, as well as a sophisticated Sorbtsiya L-006 ECM suite, recognizable through long fairings on the wing tips, reminiscent of the Su-25’s “crocodile” air brakes.

Armament of the definitive aircraft consisted of a fixed GSh-30-1 30mm cannon in the port wing root with 150 rounds, an internal weapon bay plus six optional underwing hardpoints, for a total ordnance payload of 4.500 kg (9.000 lb). Internally, four iron bombs of up to 500 kg (1.100 lb) caliber could be carried, a pair of video or laser-guided KAB-500 smart bombs or, with special bomb bay covers, a single, semi-recessed laser-guided KAB-1500 smart bomb or a nuclear, tactical 'special stores'.

More and bigger loads (including ECM Pods, drop tanks, pods with S-8 and S-24 rockets, iron bombs, Kh-25, Kh-29 or Kh-29 air-to-ground missiles with TV, IR or laser guidance) could be carried externally under the wings. Each of the inner wing hardpoints could carry up to 1.000kg (1.100 lb), while the outer wing hardpoints were primarily reserved for light loads of up to 250 kg (550 lb) like infrared homing air-to-air missiles for self-defense, e. g. the R-60 or R-73 AAM.

The Yak-49M was not outfitted with an active radar, but sensors include an optical Kyra-23 laser-television sighting system, fitted in a fairing under the nose. It is combined with a S-31E2 KOLS, a combined laser rangefinder and IRST in an "eyeball" mount forward of the cockpit canopy.
The capabilities of the aircraft were enhanced by the incorporation of various avionics systems consisting primarily of two Multi-Function Displays (MFDs) Mission and Display Processor (MDP), Sextant Ring Laser Gyros (RLG INSI), combined GPS/GLONASS navigation, HUD with UFCP, Digital Map Generator (DMG), jam-resistant Secured Communication, stand-by UHF communication, data link and a comprehensive Electronic Warfare (EW) Suite.
 A mission planning and retrieval facility, VTR and HUD camera were also fitted. The aircraft retained stand-by (conventional) instrumentation, including artificial horizon, altimeter and airspeed indicator, to cater for the failure of HUD and the MFDs.

The first operational Yak-49Ms arrived at assault air regiments in late 2013, where they were promptly christened 'клин' ('Klin' = wedge) by the crews. The type became quickly popular because of its good handling characteristics, thanks to the low wind loading and the responsive, powerful engines, and the spacious, modern cockpit. These machines replaced early Su-25 sans suffix attack aircraft. Until today about 50 Yak-49Ms have been delivered, distributed among two squadrons (an operational attack squadron and a training unit), and more are to follow. Production is kept up, even though at a rather slow and steady pace, due to the lack of funding. The production program is expected to last until 2018. The potential ship-borne Yak-49K is still on the drawing board, and so far the Yak-49M has not been offered to export customers.

Zum Bau:
Das sieht harmlos aus, war aber Knochenarbeit, denn der ganze Unterboden der X-32 musste angehoben werden. Hinzu kamen die Lufteinläufe mit Schächten innen, der (offene) Waffenschacht wurde von der Backbord-Flanke untern den Rumpf versetzt, die Triebwerke sind neu (das ursprüngliche, große Einzeltriebwerk des Senkrechtstarters wich zwei kleineren, konventionellen Antrieben), neue Finnen wurden eingesetzt und Pylone kamen unter die Tragflächen.

Vor allem die Arbeiten an den Lufteinläufen kostete viel Probieren und Anpassen - es sieht aber recht palusibel aus. Und bevor jetzt jemand kommt mit "Höh, das ist aber nicht stealthig" - das ist ja auch nicht der Anspruch, sondern ein pragmatisches Design.

Der Rumpf wurde teilsweise komplett mit Malerspachtel modelliert, weil vom Original einfach nicht genug "Fleisch" übrig war, um Lücken zu schließen...

Die Seitenleitwerke der X-32 wurden mit gekürzten Finnen einer MiG-29 ersetzt, was einen kompakteren Eindruck ergibt.

Die Triebwerke wurden umgebaut, um einerseits die Heckoptik weiter zu ändern, aber auch, weil seit den 90ern die Russische Luftwaffe keine Kampfflugzeuge mit Einzeltriebwerken mehr betreibt.

Die Pylone stammen von zwei uralten Matchbox-A-7 Corsair IIs und einer Academy MiG-23 kit. Der Waffenschacht ist offen dargestellt.

[dizzyfugu]

Der Anstrich ist eher konservativ und orientiert sich an der aktuellen Mode der russischen Luftwaffe - ich wollte dem exotischen Umbau nicht noch Lametta anhängen.
Vorlage waren aktuelle Su-25, von denen einige Details wie die tiefblauen Lufteinlauf-Einfassungen oder die taktischen Markierungen übernommen wurden.

Grundfarbe von oben ist Humbrol 173 (Neutral Grey, FS 36173) und von unten RLM 65 von ModelMaster aus der Authentic Enamels Reihe.

Später wurde mit schwarzer Tusche verwittert und vor allem die Oberseiten mit hellerem Grau bearbeitet - die Farbe scheint im wahren Leben schnell auszubleichen und sehr porös zu sein. So sehen viele Maschinen (vor allem Su-25) recht mitgenommen aus, aber es ist nur ausgeblichene Farbe und Öl, das um diverse Wartungsklappen wie von einem Schwamm aufgesogen wird und dunklere Spuren hinterlässt. Dies habe ich versucht nachzubilden.

Das Cockpit ist typisch russisch in Türkis gehalten, zum Wachhalten, und die Scheibe habe ich aus Boshaftigkeit gelb getönt - das Ergebnis sticht ins Auge... 

Das Fahrwerksschächte sind simpel in Alu, die Klappen innen Rot (gesehen auf einigen Su-27); die Streben selber in einem Mix aus Hellblau und Alu. Radscheiben sind grellgrün (Humbropl 131) während der Waffenschacht in einem üblen Mix aus Alu und Zink-Primer (Humbrol 56 + 81) gestrichen sind (gesehen in einer Tu-160 und Tu-95).

Aufkleber sind bunt zusammengepuzzelt, u.a. von mehreren Begemot-Sheets. Zum Schluss gabe es noch ein paar Detail-Verdreckungen mit Graphit und eine Lage matten Acryl-Lack.

Et voilà: das große Finale 2015. 

[Bernie]

deine letzten Eigenbauten wirken sehr authentisch   

[Sheriff]

Sehr geil!  nicht nur der Bau, auch die Bemalung. Der fügt sich so super in deine Fotomontagen ein 
Tolle Arbeit.

[dizzyfugu]

Da ist nichts "montiert".  Die Bilder werden so aufgenommen, wie Du sie siehst - lediglich der Ständer/Halter und Fahrwerke o.ä. retuschiere ich dann bei Flugszenen weg.

[Jenny]

Ich staune immer wieder wieviel Arbeit in diesen kleinen Modellen stecken tut. Erst Deine Dokumentation führt einem das wieder so richtig vor Augen.
Ein tolles Modell und die bemalung paßt einfach darauf.....alles andere wäre falsch.  
HGJ

[Sheriff]

Ah ok. Sieht trotzdem fast echt aus, das Modell.

[dasRoy]

Also wenn man es nicht wüßte, könnte man glatt meinen das wäre real. Top arbeit ! 

[Karotte]

Das Modell ist klasse gebaut und bemalt, aber mir gefällt das Design einfach nicht. Die groooße Cockpithaube sieht irgendwie albern aus.

Aber darum gehts ja nicht... Weitermachen!

Mir auch nicht, das sieht völlig schlimm aus. Aber guck' mal das "Original"...? 



DAS ist schlimmer... 

An alle vielen Dank fürs Feedback! 

[Karotte]

Ja, das Original ist ja schon ein Internet-Meme: Happy plane is happy! 

[Sheriff]

Haha  das Bild hat mich gleich fröhlich gestimmt
