Created as a successor to earlier designs, it was tasked with intercepting targets at high altitudes, both by day and night. It entered operational service at the turn of the 1950s and 1960s, during the \u003cstrong\u003eCold War\u003c\/strong\u003e period, as a response to growing tensions and the need to defend Soviet airspace against Western bombers and reconnaissance aircraft. The Yak-27 was primarily used for the territorial defense of the country and served until the mid-1960s.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eDetailed Product Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel scale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/72\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperator country:\u003c\/strong\u003e Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod of use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cold War (1958–1967)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-quality polystyrene plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit contents:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sprues with plastic parts for assembly, decals, assembly instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtras:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glue and paints not included – to be purchased separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e A-Model\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic model kit – jet aircraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eRecommendation and Difficulty Level\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eA-Model 72263 Yak-27 K-8 1\/72\u003c\/strong\u003e kit is an excellent choice for intermediate modellers seeking unique aircraft in a non-standard subject theme.
