MoFo Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 NICE! Any chance we might see an English version at some point? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kasatka Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 I believe, Ken is answering you question at the moment, MoFo =) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 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 ............

Kasatka Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Ken, the reason for me to buy a magazine with your article would be to have it signed by you =)) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kasatka Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 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 =) http://www.vesti.ru/comments.html?id=36883&tid=29730# Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stealthman Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 An English version of this article would have been great, considering the numbers around the globe that speak English I'm at a loss as to why its in Russian! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StarTux Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Nice looking plane, although does look quite like a B-1B. But, guess I have to wait for the English version of the entire article. Wets my appetite for a 1/48 Mig 29, memories of Farnborough and all :). Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
