    Hi Guys, I haven't build any armour for approximately 10 years. However this forum sparked a new way of interest in mud movers . Recently I've learn that motha Russia supplied new T-90 (A) to Syria in order to provide for us some new inspirational wear and tear scenarios . My question is, what is the most true to scale T-90 kit? I know about about Zvezda, Trumpeter,Meng and Tiger Hobbies. Disregarding the sub variant, I am curious to know what you think? Thank you in advance Martin look at those guys driving around with open hatches , good luck with activating the Shtora system

    Absolutely sure, the engine was removed for variety of reasons. The very same protocol was followed by Russians and American research teams.

    Did I mention the hailstorm that struck Calgary while I was in Phoenix. Approximately 15 grand damage.

    Peter it should work, even if you just drag the picture from your desktop into the window. This platform makes everything so easy and fun.

    As I said before, for me it was mainly social event. It was the first day while you were still in the air.

    There are also lengthy debates about the colour applied on the bottom of this aeroplane, yellow, sky? That is something I am not sure about, maybe some RAF experts can pitch in with documentation clarifying this mystery . Don't hate me too much LOL Cheers M.

    Here you can clearly see the demarcation lines of the colours on the top wing with walkway stencil by the root of the wing. The "repair" colour on the tail is most likely of British origin. Cheers Martin

    Brown's comet did not have the engine, it was pulled behind Spitfire mk.9 mostly at the Wisley airfield, also Wittering and Farnborough . There was some overpainting on the tail, and wing root, otherwise the top camouflage was standard. Stencils were translated and added creating interesting mixture with German ones placed on light blue-grey base.

    Thank You Padre, thank You Ernie. Yes, during the development of the Mig-9 become apparent that the regular steel sheeting behind the engines will not provide sufficient protection from the heat generated by the jet flow. Therefore designers brought a new solution, where two layers of steel plating were sandwiched together with a small gap in between. Into this gap was air driven through the set of Ram air intakes located on the sides of the fuselage under the trailing edge of the wing. The cold air was directed into the lover tail section and released via a set of exhaust vents similar to the Bf-109G+ cowling vents. here you can see the small gap, also the presence of the exit vents is partially visible .....partially. I will address this detail later

    Thank You Guys, here is little progress from few days back. Slowly shaping resin epoxy in the transition point, not as easy as I expected.

    Lovely work Jeoren. Wimpy has a place in my hearth . As a kid I use to read stories of Czechoslovak airmen from 311 squadron, that flew them over the darkness of the enemy territories . Scary to think what those guys had to go thru . Once again mighty fine work, I had a chance to spare a word or two with the Eduard team in Phoenix and I have to admit, what a bunch of nice and creative folks. ,,,if I may suggest something to consider, please check out this video, and the colouring/wear difference present on the bombs, as the casted body was attached to the stabilizing part.

    Thank You, it has been fun so far, fun with a sadomasochistic undertone I hear you John, BC is in flames as we speak and Calgary is covered in cloud of smoke, I was talking to William today and he's ok , but flames are everywhere, huge fires are raging across British Columbia. Here is some aftermarket to get some extra blink .
