Neucraft Models are the distributors for Qing Yi Miniatures who have released a 1/32nd resin WWII Soviet Fighter Pilot.
We proudly introduce a new 1/32 resin figure to you from Qing Yi Miniatures. This highly detailed resin figure is a Soviet fighter pilot in the era from 1941 to 1942. The figure will be available in mid April.
This pilot figure was inspired by a photo of the famous Soviet fighter ace – Lieutenant-Colonel Boris F. Safonov (26 August 1915 – 30 May 1942). He was the commanding officer of the 72nd Mixed Aviation Regiment of the Soviet Naval Aviation in 1942. Official records show that he has 20 individual kills and 6 shared kills. He was rewarded Hero of the Soviet Union (16 September 1941 and 27 May 1942) and the British Distinguished Flying Cross, among many other rewards. He flew the Polikarpov I-16, the Hawker Hurricane and the Curtiss P-40E. He was killed on 30 May 1942 in a plane crash during an air combat operation.
Qing Yi Miniatures is a Chinese model studio owned by Qing Yi – a highly skilled sculptor with more than ten years of experience making 1/30, 1/32 and 1/35 figurines. This pilot figure is the first Qing Yi model to be released internationally. More Qing Yi’s 1/32 and 1/35 resin figures will be released via Neucraft Models very soon. Neucraft Models is the authorized distributor for Qing Yi Miniatures in the international market. Qing Yi’s products can be purchased from our website.
