Hi, everybody,

Here you see the ICM kit of the Yak-7T in the markings of René Challe's plane at the Normandie-Niémen regiment (GC 3 fot the French Air Force)
The kit has been easy to build and looks good. I built it out of the box, in August 2001.

Thank you for your good comments.
I've been told by Joseph Risso (†) that his Yak-9T-37 was "silver 21", not white.

Good info as well from image is hard to determine is it white or silver

Hi mate,

I've been also told, not by Risso but another member of N-N Régiment, that the red star was sometimes outlined in silver... What do you think about that ?

I read about that in one color study by one Soviet researcher, can not remember the name in the moment. So this might be the fact!

A very nice Yak, my friend!

Also thank you for the photos and further information on "Silver 21". I recently (cannot remember the source, either) read about silver outline on the star.
