This is the 'notorious' Unimodel kit - and I can understand why it gets bad reviews - I'm happy to enlarge on that if anyone is interested, but for now I'll stick more generally to the RFI. It does go together, but not particularly well in some areas. The decals provide for 'Red 11' WNr 460425 - except that 460425 seems actually to have been 'yellow 11', not red. Some of the balkenkreuze markings supplied are also incorrect for that WNr as well. So after a visit to the spares box (for decals and wheels - the kit wheels were horrible), we have (hopefully) a slightly more accurate representation of 'yellow 11' of III/JG76, discovered in a 'stripped-down' condition by the advancing allies at Athis/Bisseuil in September 1944. Anyway, it's done, so I can cross it off the list and we can move on..

I spotted this on one of the model shop websites, and thought that with two kits that it was something of a bargain ... The kit contains a truck (GAZ-AS1) and a Yak-1b. The Yak-1b is the Modelsvit / South Front kit, which I'll put to one side for now - I've been tempted to the dark side, by that truck. (If I recall correctly, I did build a trusk once, years ago, the Italeri Opel Blitz.) While there is a Normadie-Nieman decal option in the box, it is not the one shown on the lid. I've been trying to research the GAZ-AS1, and it seems that the chassis is the GAZ-MM, possibly the earlier GAZ-AA. There was another version built the AS2 on the GAZ-AAA chassis, which was very similar but had six wheels rather than 4. Having found some scale drawings of the truck, I will have to modify the truck bed and omit a few parts. A couple of queries I have about markings: I'm not sure if all Russian trucks carried markings - some had what looks like registration details on the cab doors, and on the back flap(?). These are not clear in all photos. The kit has instructions for one version (A-3-18-56) as shown on the box top. There are decals for other vehicles on the sheet, including some French roundels (Normandie-Niemen?) that I'd like to know more about.

Not the prettiest of finishes in the end: But at least it's finally done.
