        Steve Bamford will insert full sized version of photo La-7 Sultan.3.here  

  The modell isn`t the professional kit from gavia, I bought the normal kit from the manufacturer.

  I bought photo etched parts from the polish company Part to refine the cockpit and parts for the chassis.

  The seat you may build with photo etched parts but I used the decals from the kit.

  I bought a magazin from MBI "Lawotschkin La-7". It contains colorprofiles of the La-7. The magazin also contains the machine I built.

  I built this modell, because the life from Sultan-Ahmed Khan moved me.

  Above all, as one kidnaps and kills the family of a hero of the USSR, if this pilot uses daily his life for the liberty of the entire Russian people.

  Pilot of this airplane was Major Sultan-Ahmed Khan. It shot 30 airplanes during the war and was involved in 19 group victories. After the war he purged to the alcohol, as a brother of a "traitor" he became supervised by the NKWD constantly.

  When its old combat comrades had been already carried, one had ignored him radical. 

  Only with the help of its combat companions he could become finally test pilot. On February 1st 1971 the Tupolew TU-16 exploded during a testflight in the air. Ahmed Khan and its crew died.
