1/72 Yakovlev Yak-40 Codling (Early Version)
([url]http://www.hyperscale.com/images/marsmodels72101reviewjh_1.jpg[/url])
34-35 years ago, I read an interview with the folk who ran EDO floats at the time. They said the oddest request they had ever received was from a rich Saudi who wanted to put floats on a Yak-40. You'd need streamlined mounting struts to pick up the main landing gear structural interfaces, but I could see using a set of XC-47C floats for that. If nothing else, 'twould be a different sort of whif.

Nice 1/48 Mig-9 box art and has 1/72 potential. One of those off the public's radar little known aircraft.
Don't believe ever saw combat.

Don't give me more ideas Evan ---
Dash 8 with XC-47C floats

I can't say exactly when I saw it, but I believe it was an early 1980's issue of Aviation Convention News; I didn't give any ideas, just pointed out what was already out there. ;)
-
I have a set of drawings for a floatplane Yak.40 from an old 80's L&K magazine, I recall John Lacey 'maverick' did a profile of same in Finnair markings too :)
-
IIRC there was interest from CAC to produce the Yak-40 under licence in Australia

If you look at a FMA IAe 33 Pulqui II you can see the Kurt Tank design influence there.
I wrote an article about the Ta-183 and it's connection to the Space Shuttle some years ago, the plan was to build a model of each of the aircraft I mentioned in it. The La-15 was one of them but the model I bought to build was a bit 'agricultural' . This kit would be much better.

Was it the Cooperativa 1/72 kit? In carbon-y black plastic? :
