That's my guess for the reds.

Don't think there'll be that many to start with Krups, and I find it strange that the La5 has already been hinted at, as it was in development at the time of the Battle for Moscow from what I've read.
'The design work required to adapt the LaGG-3 to the new engine and still maintain the aircraft's balance was undertaken by Lavochkin in a small hut beside an airfield over the winter of 1941-1942, all completely unofficially'.
'The Battle of Moscow (Битва под Москвой, Romanized: Bitva pod Moskvoy, German: Schlacht um Moskau) is the name given by Soviet historians to two periods of strategically significant fighting on a 600 km (370 mi) sector of the Eastern Front during World War II. It took place between October 1941 and January 1942'
Both from wikipedia unfortunately.
@Cheesehawk - you may be correct there mate, it wasn't flyable in 1946 either was it?
