1/72 LaGG-3 AVG China, 1942

[nighthunter]

Pictures coming soon.

In late 1940, Stalin, in an effort to solidify relations with Nationalist China, offers several squadrons worth of LaGG-3 fighters. Generalissimo Chang Kai-Shek, wary of such a gift gives them to the newly formed AVG, but specifically for those volunteers that both he and Chennault viewed as pro-Communist. These were mostly pilots of Polish and Russian descent. They performed admirably, and later went home.

Again, I'll get pictures up ASAP, sorry forgot to take some last night while in progress. Needless to say, filler and much sanding to be done, *sighs*.
