The Rook,
My first warbird was a Yak-3 from Redstar (yes it's an allied). Great plane, pretty good flyer, the only things that not real scale is the bottom of the fuselage but she looks great and fly's great too!
Check out my build.

Besides, you'll probably be the only member with a Russian WWII aircraft at you're club.
