While scouring the internet for a warbird to build, I came across Seagull's Yak-3U. This is a limited recent production (maybe only one model was built) modified from a Soviet WW2 airplane that is a racer. I loved the design and the finish, so I ordered from HobbyGulf out in Abu Dhabi. I had built the Seagull T-34 last year and was very happy with the quality of that kit.
