Hi, does anyone know where I can find free flight kits of soviet aircraft of WWII?

I guess the closest Guillow's ever got to Soviet was the P-39 which they no longer make now. Your best shot might be Easy Built, but a better source of leads might be obtained by asking over on the SFA Forum.

I don't know about kits, but try the Comet Model Builders group at Yahoo,

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cometmodelairplanes/

They have a downloadable copy of the plans for the IL-2 with about a 20 inch wingspan. Haven't built it yet but it looks like it will be a good flier.

No kits, but if you know how to make plans build ready...

You don't have to be able to read Russian, just start looking around, and you'll figure it all out in a jiffy...

Hi,

If it's just about having a plane with red stars on it then you could make a lend-lease model too.

Guillow's produced a line of terrible profile FF rubber kits featuring a Stormavik (their spelling). These occasionally come up on ebay. What you need is a Dave Diels kit, which will look great and really fly.
