Hi, does anyone know where I can find free flight kits of soviet aircraft of WWII? :?:

I guess the closest Guillow's ever got to Soviet was the P-39 which they no longer make now. Your best shot might be Easy Built, but a better source of leads might be obtained by asking over on the SFA Forum.

I don't know about kits, but try the Comet Model Builders group at Yahoo,

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cometmodelairplanes/

They have a downloadable copy of the plans for the IL-2 with about a 20 inch wingspan. Haven't built it yet but it looks like it will be a good flier.

Hi,

If it's just about having a plane with red stars on it then you could make a lend-lease model too.

Guillow's produced a line of terrible profile FF rubber kits featuring a Stormavik (their spelling). These occasionally come up on ebay. What you need is a Dave Diels kit, which will look great and really fly.
