I've never even HEARD of a Yak-140.  :banghead:

Looks pretty neat there, and that centreline landing gear gives lots of weapons choices, even if it would be a real swine to take-off and land!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I don't know what came over me buying a kit so small.

Yak 140   is mentioned in Buttler & Gordon:   Soviet Secret Projects; Fighters since 1945 (page 61  in my copy). also https://www.aviastar.org/air/russia/yak-140.php

I believe that  OKB47 (Yakovlev)  were keen on the Velocipedno  (bicycle) style of undercarriage

It  means that you read  the instruction sheet

Yeah, all their 'Flashlight' derived twin jets used that style of landing gear.
