WW2 Model Airplane Kits

Russian WW2 Aircraft, basically any aircraft used by the Russian airforce during World War 2. Russia did not produce a great many indigenous aircraft choosing to focus on a few specific designs and produce them in bulk. However the designs were constantly updated and modified so an interesting range of models is available. Not only were there indigenous aircraft but there were quite a number of lend lease aircraft as well. These aircraft were supplied from both America and Great britain. For Great Britain’s part these aircraft were usually obsolete secondline fighters. A case in point would be the Spitfire Mk VB, hopelessly outclassed by the FW 190 and replaced by the Mk IX. So Britain parceled off her fighters to O.T.U. (operational training units) and exported some to Russia. England supplied Spitfires and Hurricanes. America supplied P39 Aircobra’s P40E Curtiss Kittyhawk to name a couple. America supplied bombers and transport aircraft as well as fighters. So a great range of subjects can be modeled.
