AMO-7247 1/72 Yakovlev Yak-21 Soviet Jet Fighter model kit In 1946 the first Soviet jet fighters successfully passed State tests and were adopted by Air Forces. Practically at once the need for corresponding planes with double-manning appeared. The serial fighter Yak-15 was taken as a base of the construction of training aircraft Yak-21 in Yakovlev design office. The armament was taken away and on its place in front of pilot's cabin, designers placed the second cabin for the trainee. Simultaneously with Yak-21, with regard for heightened demands to fighter, the staff of Yakoviev design office was working out a single-seater fighter Yak-17 and a two-seater fighter Yak-21 T(Yak-17UTI).
