Its first flight took place in 1941. This project was the Soviet designers’ response to the need for an aircraft capable of engaging German long-range fighters, as well as performing fighter-bomber assault missions. Unfortunately, due to the death of designer Nikolai Polikarpov in 1944 and technical issues, the project never entered serial production and only prototypes were built.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/72\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountry of use: USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePeriod of use: World War II (1941–1944, prototype phase)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-quality plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eKit contents: plastic sprues with parts for assembly, clear canopy, Soviet markings decal sheet, assembly instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAdditions: the kit includes decals and photo-etched parts (cockpit details and small external components)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: military aircraft plastic model kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBuild difficulty: 4\/5 – model recommended for experienced modelers due to the number of details and additional photo-etched parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eValom 72003 Polikarpov TIS 1\/72\u003c\/strong\u003e is intended for those wishing to expand their collection with a unique design from the WWII period.
