Yak-38 "Forger" (initially known as Yak-36M) was the only VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft that entered operational service in the Soviet Naval Aviation. It was designed in late-1960s/early-1970s, 231 airframes (143 Yak-38, 38 Yak-38U and 50 modernized Yak-38M) were built and served till 1992 on Kiev-class aircraft carriers (heavy aviation cruisers according to Soviet classification).

All Yak-38s (except for one airframe) and early Yak-38Ms wore a standard blue over green camouflage scheme (however the blue paint differed significantly between airframes and had a strong fading tendency).

Yak-38Ms (except for couple of early airframes) used a new scheme of light grey over dark grey. Radio transparent elements of both types were painted in white.

The Orange Line paints are specially formulated lacquer based paints optimised for airbrushing. The product was developed to satisfy needs of all modellers – it is perfect for professional use (application of many semi-transparent layers, gradual building of colours / colour shading, application of very fine lines, etc.), but also very forgiving to beginners. It has significantly limited odour compared to other similar products, hence is more suitable for home use. All colours are highly pigmented and permanent.
