Thank you very much, Ben, for your expert opinion! You're right, this type of air brakes was only used on the B-series and the early F-4Cs with thin tires that were transferred to the USAF. I was inattentive. This film shows comparison footage of Navy and USAF tires on the same aircraft, which has thin tires.

Hi! Calling all experts.. I'd like to clarify the type of airbrakes on the Vietnam-era F-4C. Did the holes on the inside of the airbrakes look like those on the F-4B, or like those on the later F-4D/E/G, since the airbrakes were designed for the thicker, flared wing? For example, Eduard makes brakes for the F-4C with holes like the F-4B, but the F-4D has a later variant. Some museum photos of the F-4C already show later airbrakes - this from primeportal.net As we understand it, they could have been replaced much later in service. Some ho

Hi, LuckyZero! You can build a full-fledged SM or SM3 from the KH, and there are many visual differences in the cockpit and outside. A good cockpit for the SM version made by Quinta Studio. Use this reference for modification. https://cloud.mail.ru/public/1mP9/HTCqRjyxy Best regards! Sergey

This is very strange, I preordered and the 3D cockpit was included

Hi all! I want to share information about the 1/48 Mi-28 project from Arma Models. This is the second fully 3D printed helicopter model after the Ka-52. The rotor blades are from the plastic model Mi-35 Zvezda. Decals from Begemot. Included 3D decal cockpit set. Best regards! Sergey

Hi all! Quick comparison of Dmold nose kit and HB fuselage kit.

Hi! NVA MiG-21s did not have identification insignia on the wings.

All missiles that have transverse stripes are mockups. There are no stripes on combat missiles.

Usually only the central fuel tank is used, it is enough to solve combat tasks. Tanks under the wings are used for long-distance flight, for example, Syria - Russia. But there are no restrictions on the use of underwing tanks together with weapons - the maximum possible load is 4 tons. If you make a model and with tanks and weapons it will not be a mistake, but in real life it does not used.

Hi! Of course, the SMT modification can use 1100-liter underwings fuel tanks

Arma Models announced the release of the Ka-50. I suppose they will start with a 1/48 scale

Hi! To date, all Kazakh MiG-31s have been modernized in Russia, and some of them have practically been upgraded to the MiG-31BM modification. It is known that Kazakh interceptors are just as equipped as Russian vehicles. Moreover, Kazakhstan received the latest weapons for them, including R-37E missiles. There is no information about the R-77, but I think that their use is possible, taking into account the purchases of Su-30SM aircraft by Kazakhstan. Regards, Sergey

I think yes. Almost complete kit
