The Yak-1B variant was a culmination of all 1942 efforts to improve the Yak-1. Work began at 1st ACL where research into improving the water and oil radiators, and work to increase the top speed. Tactical characteristics of the Yak-1 were significantly improved as a result, leading to Yakovlev's request to the Minister of Aviation to mass-produce a test batch of 20 improved aircraft for combat testing at the front. However the improvements looked so good on paper that a test batch was skipped, and a Defence Committee Directive dated 11th August 1942 ordered a new and improved Yak-1B into mass production. Improved armament triggers and a cockpit with improved rearward visibility were welcomed by Soviet pilots and became standard on all contemporary Soviet fighter planes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore to read about the KIT \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.scalemates.com\/fr\/kits\/modelsvit-4801-yak-1b--1413025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e, thanks to scalemates, a Belgian Scale modeling database\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MODELSVIT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53397100396890,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/files\/IMG_1868_4aca3da4-70de-422a-a4b5-21e904ebcf11.JPG?v=1769070392","url":"https:\/\/aviation.brussels\/products\/maquette-a-monter-yak-1b-limited-edition-modelsvit-n-4801-1-48","provider":"aviation.brussels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
