  1. It had a list of every aircraft type, serial number and photos, someone in europe ran it
  2. Amazing pictures, looks like some numbers and insignia covered by whatever paint they can find, and then this one with just the outline of the star. Does it look like as the operation has continued, helmets are now no longer white
  3. more important then "when" is how to get one or two
  4. I'd worry more about what our alphabet agencies would do, I think we might need an Underground Railroad or hopefully buy from a friendly nation, the kit looks amazing and I think with markings painted over its even more sexy, its the transfer of money that makes it difficult, I did buy a model car kit from Russia, I sent PayPal to their out of Russia account, it took a month to leave Russia, I've lost ability to track now package is in the US
  5. The box art is gorgeous,finally a modern F-16D kit!
  6. so buy the revell for the horizontal stabs and trash the rest?
  7. wow thats a heavy load, is that a common configuration of the time? I thoroughly enjoyed the book, the movie not so much.
  8. I'd love to have a 1/48 British RN Harrier pilot seated with visor down, someday I've gotta build my Kinetic FRS-1 and need a Sharkey Ward inside it
  9. Perhaps unpopular opinion, but I believe every military unit should have a historian who documents markings and history for each helicopter, aircraft, tank. In some way, we modelers keep history alive in the work we do.
  10. hardest thing about building an IAF F-4E is that over time, when refurbished the camo on some birds is not standard,very frustrating
  11. it is fascinating the amount of complaining maybe I’m a complainer too. But I’m happy on some level because we went from famine to feast when it comes to F-4G. I’m planning on building mine as a desert storm lizard camo
  12. I’m not a big fan of the plastic that Italeri uses. built their automobiles and they all were pretty crappy. If you need decals for Israeli Air Force I definitely try isradecal, if the cost is an issue for the hasegawa or ZM try going to a model contest that has a dealer room or ebay you would be surprised at how cheap you could buy things after nobody wants them.
  13. Italeri? instead of ZM, if you had a choice you would pick Italeri?
  14. Sounds like whining when people are crying the plates arent included, what next, a demand for every marking that ever existed? Every tire marking too? This aint tiger tank modellin y’all
  15. I think what some see as a missing feature, I see as a godsend, I can't imagine the pain in the rear to scrape off unneeded strengthening plates. I suggest you buy or make your own plates and chill, no plates molded on is a great feature! this is modeling, not shake the box and a finished kit pops out, do more modeling less whining
  16. I wish people would draw redlines on kit and real aircraft pictures so I could decide for myself which is best
  17. is this for real? so defense contractors with poor security let the plans out? Jolly Roger markings so cool https://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?item_no=MC-UA48001?
  18. Posted Monday at 04:23 AM (edited) The barrel of the gun in the kit is made of 3D resin, you can buy it separately from metal. The wheels of landing gear in the kit are less detailed, and can buy additionally with more details. The Ka-52, shot down in February, remained on the ground, the crew was evacuated by another Mi-24 that came to the rescue. There was another case of forced landing of the Ka-52. The crew was able to repair the helicopter on their own and flew away. P.S. Bonus - in progress pics Sergei, any photos or l
  19. metal gun barrels? or landing gears? the Tempmodels crew w/AKs is genius, does anyone know if that aircraft was recovered, destroyed or captured?
  20. so its a good base to start with for an IAF F-16 Block 10 aircraf?
