Agreed 100%. The 1/48 Russian modern jet kits are exquisite. Kitty Hawk, GWK, ICM, AMK, all have beautiful renderings in 1/48.
HPH makes an exquisite 1/32 Mug-15 and some stunning Russian airliners in 1/72. Not to mention a truly stunning 1/48 IL-28 Beagle.
I got one bogged in once, but the handy dandy winch plus low range pulled me through. Those things were real oxen, they'd pull anything, really really slowly
They had a hardtop cab, no soft tops, a Hydramatic 4 speed automatic, dual ranges, 6x6 drive, and as far as I could tell, was absolutely impossible to get these things stuck in anything less than full bore bog
Now I’m dating myself here. These figured prominently in my early military career.
Does anyone make a 1/35 kit of the old round nose single rear wheel hardtop deuce?
Nice to be back on the bench. I’m covered in resin dust. Yeah baby!
I agree that stencils are easily overdone, but a few in strategic places do help, keeping in mind these Bs were usually quite war weary by the time the Red Tails were issued them. Before their new Ds, their Bs and previous P-40s were other squadron’s hand-me-downs.
So is this like The USSR shoots down a Korean 747 by mistake, so if you give them Vegemite they can scrap every airliner in the USA with D9 Cats?
What happens if you gave them KY?
