Flankerman Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I dug out a few of my early attempts at modelling early Soviet jet fighters and photographed them.... For your delectation, here they are..... La-15 'Fantail' - old Russian vacform kit.... MiG-9 'Fargo' - resin kit (can't remember origin) Su-9 - Cooperativa (?) vacform kit... Yak-15 'Feather' - KP (I think?) Yak-17 also 'Feather' - unknown vacform - probably Czech? Yak-23 'Flora' - KP kit. Please don't be too critical - they were all made at least 20+ years ago - I have improved slightly since then There are more pics of them - down the bootom of the page here Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Harold Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Very neat planes. Really nice, thanks for sharing. I would like to see them out in 1/48 scale too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TaiidanTomcat Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I think they look pretty darn good considering that they are not "shake and bake" kits in any way shape or form. Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Great to see, Ken! Reminds me, I should find a way to lobby you to autograph my copy of your book which I bought nearly 20 yrs ago.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yuri Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) Great to see, Ken!Reminds me, I should find a way to lobby you to autograph my copy of your book which I bought nearly 20 yrs ago.... YEAH! Good idea. ME TOOOOO!!! Btw, Ken you should really write a new one, even if with all the kits that came out in the last few years it would be an encyclopedia...

Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Very good point, Yuri! It's all changed since that first groundbreaking book! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
