Well, having been given the green light by the Powers That Be, I feel a bit like Nikolai Polikarpov himself, building his 'DH9', not under license, completely stolen, reverse-engineered, etc... So it's summer 1922...Stalin has just been named General Secretary of the Communist Party...Lenin is Chairman of the Council of the People's Commissars...Kalinin is Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Congress of Soviets...Trotsky declines to be Lenin's second-in-command (the beginning of the end for him)...the creation of the USSR is a mere 4-5 months away. Here's what was flying about in the skies... Here's what I will build. I like this profile. It's got all the neat slogans, the red stars, and the Cyrillic number font...'White 5', before they used those designations. And it's aluminum dope. Easy paint job. The sprue looks very nice. Excellent detail, no flash. No PE (thank the gods). There will be drilling happening here, no doubt about that. Lots of rigging. Nice looking decal set. Plenty of cool leftovers. I'll get into it presently. --John- 59 replies
