Experimental Russian jet

When I was a kid (appox 1957) I got a model of a Russian Jet. I ran many
searches on the net but can't find anything on it.
I don't remember the designation, but I think it was a Yak. Yes I ran 4 Yak
sites that came up.

The Jet had a nose like the F-86D, swept wings with a high sweeping tail.
The tail was very long compared to the rest of the A/C
It swept back and up in a nice curve. I've never seen another A/C with a
tail like it.
Single engine, single seater with a couple of cannon, I think were 37MM.
I think it might have been Experimental because I can't find anything out
about it..
Any Help would be welcomed...

I think that would have been the old Aroura kit, in bright green plastic.
If so, the plane depicted was a figment of somebody's imaginatiaon. I had
the same kit, and it really did have a Russian "look" about it! Never
existed, thouugh, in real life.

1968 catalog page 12 maybe? Boy, those kits bring back some memories!

It was a vague sort of mishmash that looked a little like a Lagg with
some Ta183 and cold war creativity tossed in.

Both Aurora & Lindberg made fictitious Soviet '50s era jets. They were
called a "MiG-19" & another version was maybe called a Yak- something,
maybe 19. Both were similar in layout, & shared design features of the
Ta-183. They show up on eBay from time to time.

From your description it sounds like a Yak-30 or maybe the Yak-50

Wow you guys are good. Yep thats the jet. Mine was Bright Green and big red
stars on it.
The model on page 12 of the 68 catalog shows the right jet, but in silver
with the name Mig. I'm still pretty sure that back in the 50's when it was
green it was listed as a Yak
So that jet never existed. Again thanks guys..
I was going nuts trying to figure out why I could never find anything on
it...

When you have model questions another resource is rec.models.scale . They
are also very good.
