NICE! Any chance we might see an English version at some point?

Mofo, I asked Kasatka to 'withdraw' the English version = 'cos I am trying to get it published in a model magazine.

I don't think having it in Russian on a Russian website would hurt any western model magazine sales, but having it in full, in English would diminish my chances of getting it published...........

Why would you buy the mag if you could just download it....???

Sorry about that - I have submitted a short article to Steve for inclusion on the ARC front page ............

Cheers

Ken

There is a tradition in Russian Airforce to name Tu-160 after Heroes of Russia.

Pavel Taran was born 1916. He was a pilot, Twice Hero of Soviet Union, general, during the War he was a bomber-pilot, 386 combat missions.

Russian President Vladimir Putin was a passenger on "Pavel Taran" last year =)
