Here is my 1/48 AZ Model Finnish MS.406.

This aircraft was flown by Urho Lehtovaara from June to December 1941 in 2./LLv28. He is depicted here during August 1941 based at Joroinen. Lehtovaara claimed 1 DB-3, 1 Mig-3, 2 SB, 1 I-16 and 1 I-16 damaged while flying this aircraft. Some scratch-building, AML decals and Humbrol enamel colours.
