Kalashnikov-47

MiG-23 MiG-29 I know Trumpeter has announced two -29's in 1/32, but I don't believe they're "normal" MiG-29 variants.....but I could be wrong on this.

I've heard that Linden Hill will do a 1:32 Russian Knights decal sheet. Hopefully so! I've been following this thread for quite some time and I just wanted to let you guys know what a great bunch of modellers you all are! ;) I probably won't start my Flanker kit for some time as I have some 1:72 projects (3m Bison & Be-12 Mail) I'm trying to get done for Atlanta. In the meantime, I'm collecting all the aftermarket for it and learning lots from you. I salute you all! :P - Pat

Joachim - I noticed that you're interested in Ukrainian subjects. You can have the decals if you really want them. :blink: I need some larger ones so I can make my Trumpeter 1/35 Mi-8 into a Ukrainian aircraft. When I was in Kosovo (1999/2000) I was a regular passenger on Ukrainian Mi-8's. Look here: http://www.bubbamoose.com/hip.html I want to model one the helicopters I actually flew in. - Pat

Hi Tom - I'll be more than happy to help. First, I'll have to figure out where the kit is. The kit stash is almost 2,000 kits and it may take some time. I'm currently organizing that and putting a kit database on my computer to more easily locate kits. Yeah, there's those rumours about some ship sinking with those moulds on board. I've also heard that the L-1011 is/was the best one on the market. As I'm sure you know, both it and the C-5 command big prices on ebay and I haven't seen either of these kits reissued since, at least the mid-80's it has to make me wonder. With Revell releasing

Hi Joachim - my plans are to just use the Soviet decals that came with the kit. BTW, the kit comes with markings for four a/c: Soviet, Ukrainian, Egyptian, and Vietnam. I'm familiar with that old East German Be-6 kit. Haven't taken a good hard look at it, but it's pretty bad and would require major surgery. Maybe these RVHP guys would do one? - Pat

Hi - I went to ebay and purchased the Entex issue of this kit with the original "Aerospace Lines" decals. They can still be had very cheaply. HTH. - Pat
