  1. In fact, and given your location, your piece of land travels at a speed of approximately 1.300 km/h. Slightly faster than your 996.
  2. "Cossacks" rarely wisely decided on picking their leaders or to whom they pledged allegiance to. Another tradition if you will.
  3. Miniarm has a set of T-34/76 narrow-type road wheels...if my mind serves me correctly...
  4. Seems like I've developed some sort of fixation over the past few years...
  5. Welcome aboard, Rodolfo! LSM. Most definitely one of the coziest large scale plastic petting zoos around. Cheers, Ivan
  6. Not quite... It reads "Донской казак" (Donskoj Kazak) = Don Cossack.
  7. Thanks a bunch Martin, But you do realise what happened to Harambe, don't you? By the way... My spirit animal is Sloth.
  8. "NO MiG LEFT BEHIND." Just sayin'... Upper SRO IFF transponder aerials: elliptic cross section, appr. 0.1 mm thick in 48th scale, dull alumnium finish. (upper blade antenna just aft of the radome = SO-69 ATC transponder of PD/PDS a/c) Lower SRZ IFF interrogator antenna: Somewhat crude, but the shape is largely correct. On actual PD/PDS aircraft the SRZ antenna is located further to the right. Roughly 2 mm in 48th scale. Technically speaking... Colouring:
  9. Hubert, Gaz... Happy 113th, gents!!
  10. Sounds pretty familiar to me. I'm an outspoken expert at not seeing the forest from the trees... ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Another glitch in the Matrix - Gun Gas Purge System: (kit parts E52/E53) Sloppy Hawk replicated the gun gas purge doors in OPEN position. These doors will ONLY deploy upon gun firing. It's an easy fix. Just sand down the lateral flanks and gently bend down the remaining intake and vent flaps to achieve a flush installation.
  11. Affirmative, the 1982 decal options had the Northrop Improved Seat retrofitted. During 1981/1982, all US-operated (USAF/NAVY/MARINES) F-5E/F models had the early seats replaced. During the same period, USAF aircraft went through a more extensive upgrade programm. But that's a different story. Original LERX versus Enlarged LERX: Furball is your friend. Shark Nose/Enlarged LERX (Kitty Hawk): Aircraft with original radome and LERX configuration: Do you spot the difference? Different artwork for different configuration standards. Common to all Naval Fighter Weapons School F-5E/F aircraft: No RWR blisters/fairings whatsoever No vertical tail VOR/ILS antenna No canopy ECS vent No fuselage spine ADF blade antenna No ventral chaff/flare dispenser HTH
  12. My wife has a Volkwagen eGolf on order. For pretty much the same reason: More than 90% of her driving is/will be within a 20km radius. My first venture into hybrid cars was quite a disaster, eventually ending a long-standing love affair with Volvo station wagons. The hybrid V90 T8 didn't keep what Volvo promised. Both in terms of range and overall car reliability, the latter being the biggest letdown. Not quite what I've been expecting. I think I'll wait another three to four years to see how EV technology evolves. In the meantime, I've reverted to a Diesel-powered SUV. 100% fun so far...
  13. Great job on the pit, Danny! While we're at it... Gelukkige verjaardag! Happy 50th!
  14. "С НОВЫМ ГОДОМ!" (S Novym Godom) = "Happy New Year!"
  15. It seems like Mrs. Miasyan In fact, it didn't get any better... Mrs. Minasyan eventually deceased in 2007.
  16. And now imagine a doctor's handwriting in Russian cursive....
  17. Ceterum censeo we need a family of 32nd scale Dassault Mystères...
  18. Being an outspoken Sci-Fi nut and professing Trekkie, DUST and GC Bros are two of my favourite Youtube channels - entertaining, innovative and refreshingly non-mainstream. My Domestic Command Authority loves them too. Too bad some of the featured flicks are just too short...
  19. Victor has become allergic to latex and cleaning products in general. He's now taking care of the house plants.
  20. No cheques. Cash only. But no worries. I'll send Kolya and Gleb to collect the money from you.
  21. Literally: "Your free trial period of online Russian translations has expired." Analogous translation: "Donbass Avengers/Avengers of Donbass"
