History
Russian aviation during World War I was still in its formative years, but the Imperial Russian Air Service played a significant role in reconnaissance, artillery spotting, and limited air combat. Pilots often flew French or British-built aircraft, such as Nieuports and Sopwiths, supplied through allied agreements. Operating in harsh climates and challenging conditions, Russian pilots developed a reputation for resilience and adaptability. Their uniforms typically included leather flying coats, fur-lined boots, and padded headgear to protect against extreme cold at altitude. Representing one of these aviators in scale model form offers a window into the early days of Russian military aviation and its contribution to the war effort.
