  1. Well, if you are intrested in this, here is a suggestion: "Vi är tacksamma för att ni satsar både er fritid och era pengar på att ta fram plastmodeller av udda objekt som definitivt inte är några säkra investeringar. Men ni ska veta att ert arbete är uppskattat". Could be sung to any ABBA song, whilist eating meatballs and googling to find your nearest Volvo dealer.
  2. The Caproni was a replica. Since then, the replica has been restored gradually, I think with a few remaining items from the real ones which, as you mentioned correctly, all were scrapped. The B 18 on the museum however, is a restored example that was found on the bottom of the Baltic Sea just outside Härnösand.
  3. There should be two undercarriage sets in the box, if you mean the main landing gear. But maybe that was not the real question...?
  4. The Xian H-6? According to Wikipedia, yes. First flight in 1952, but if you count it as a Tu-16, the construction is 72 years old and certainly one of the oldest of them all. We also have Aermacchi MB-326, first flight in 1957, 67 years old.
  5. I totally agree! I had the same thoughts myself, being the same age as the MiG-23...
  6. Has anyone mentioned the Aero L-29? It is still in service after 65 years.
  7. Not the oldest, but still 50+: MiG-25 turns 60 later this year. And MiG-23 will be 57 in june. Both are still in service, the Foxbat in Syria and the Flogger in a number of countries. EDIT. I can see that the Flogger is already mentioned, but the MiG-25 is not.
  8. I guess that they will do the same as for the B 17; a B 18B release, and a separate B/S 18A release only containing the necessary parts. Maybe another boxing. I would love to see a T 18B, the most good-looking version of them all!
  9. I don't think that this is a Special Hobby co-operation, so my guess is that this will be made by the same company that made Tunnan and Lansen. I don't know which, but I guess Sword too.
  10. Tarangus are only making injected kits. So this is certainly good news!
  11. Better details, but probably a bit more difficult to build. But when finished, this will be a more detailed and correct Draken than the (also very good) Hasegawa release. I can see that the painting scheme has one error: most of the belly, behind the RAT hatch, was unpainted aluminium.
  12. According to a comment on Facebook from one of the owners of Tarangus, they are working on the Swedish B 18 bomber in 1/72 scale. "We hope to be finished this spring."
  13. Exactly. The pilot Vincent Ahlin did a number of airshows with this one. At about 16 min in this video, one of them can be seen: BTW, tt replaced another Draken with special livery, F 10-57 that for a short while had this ghost (the symbol för the 1st division on F 10 Wing) painted on the fin:
