The ejection seats used in the “Firebar” were a one-off Yakolev and I found few reference pictures. I made a throttle from a bit of styrene rod. The front throttle is provided but the rear throttle is missing, yet a stick is provided (Soviet two seaters had a way for the radar operator to get the jet home). Bits of styrene and solder would help, but again reference photos are lacking. The cockpit tub is pretty well detailed, but the sidewalls are sparse in detail. The instrument panels are quite nice, but need decals for the instruments – none are provided for either the front or back panel. The Cockpitĭetail is decent, the weak point being the ejection seats. I opted for a later version aircraft, with the canopy closed for aesthetics. They are less clear about other minor variant differences – instead relying on pictograms. There are two tails provided and either can be used with the long or short radome version, so it depends on which plane you build. The early version has the shorter radome, the canopy without the centerline frame, and the one set of missile rails between the fuselage and nacelles. The best source of photos, are walk-arounds of preserved airframes, but many of these aircraft are incomplete and there are no clear cockpits photos, except for a few period shots.īefore assembly you need to decide between an early and late version Firebar. Since it was only in Soviet service, and has been out of service for 35 years, few reference photos are available. It was eventually replaced by the Mig-23 family. A stable flight platform, it carried a more powerful radar and complex weapons systems than the single engine interceptors. Never exported, this was a Soviet interceptor from the 1960s and 1970’s that had that classic Soviet propaganda appearance. This is a straight styrene-only kit, with a manageable parts count.įirst out of the gate is the Yak-28P “Firebar”. A-model had released the Yak-28 family of jets in 1/72 and now it looks as if Bobcat Hobby will do the same in 1/48.

To use these binaries on Ubuntu all you need to do is download the version that matches your OS, extract the. You can download YakYak as a pre-built binary from the YakYak Github page linked below: The interface, for example, is been built using CoffeeScript and LESS. The app is built using web technologies (yes, including Electron) but should be viewed as more than a mere ‘web-wrapper’. Share images (drag and drop, clipboard, etc)Īlthough I don’t use Google Hangouts frequently enough to appreciate this app, I regularly see Linux users recommend YakYak.Oh, and it doesn’t require Google Chrome (Chromium, or a Chromium-based browser) to run.īetter still, YakYak has a couple of bells and whistles that Google’s own apps don’t, including a multiple color schemes (including dark mode), support for native desktop notifications (which you can toggle off), and a tray applet.īeyond that YakYak supports pretty much all of the features that the regular browser-based Hangouts does, letting you: YakYak is an alternative Google Hangouts app that works a little more like a regular desktop app.

There is an official Google Hangouts extension for Windows and macOS and Linux but it requires you keep Chrome running in the background (sapping your battery). It’s totally unofficial and is in no way endorsed by Google - but don’t let that put you off as YakYak is probably the best pseudo-native Hangouts app on Linux outside of all-in-one messaging apps like Rambox, ‘Wait, Isn’t there an official app?’ YakYak is a free, open-source Google Hangouts client that works on Windows, macOS and (hurrah) Linux desktops.
