    Why are we reading announcements of new MiG and Su kits almost every day - and even Klimov- engined Kittyhawk trainer conversions- but no Yak-9:s? Is the industry blind, stupid or both?

      I absolutely agree (especially in 1/72), and I've been annoying people here and elsewhere for years, decades even, by saying exactly the same thing!

      It's usually yet another Spit, 109, P51 etc

      So strange. In the R/C world there are a number of kits and plans for the 9 yet in plastic land it is an almost glaring omission. I wonder why ?

    It´s -20 degrees centigrade. If it gets any colder I´ll have to start using long underpants...

      That's cold enough to freeze your balls off your billiards table!

      One of my co-workers came to work in a T-shirt last monday, just back from -18 Slovakia. Keep warm.

    A very happy Independence day to you, my beloved 💖 Finland 🇫🇮. 103 years in your clock now, still you never looked and felt better than today. 🥳

      Congratulations V-P, I'm sure you will be raising a glass or 2 to celebrate.  :cheers:

      Cheers Pat

    Welcome 2018! The first thing to do this new year will be to restore my status as a plastic modeller vs. a model railroader, which took the better part of me and my spare time in the latter half of 2017. How to do that? I think tackling a pair of Bf 109:s in some GB:s will take care of it :thumbsup:

    Happy New Year everyone!

      Happy New Year VP! We're still more than two hours away from 2018 here in Portugal.

      Actually... We're still 5 minutes short of midnight in Finland too, I just wrote my resolution a bit early!

    A postal workers strike, most likely lasting at least two weeks, began today and truly messes things up for Finnish modellers. I have a lot of stuff on its way but don´t know when I´ll get in this case...

      Hi V-P

      Sorry to hear that, however it might be an opportunity to do some finishing in the KUTA GB.

      Cheers Pat

      Haha, thanks Pat, there´s also a trio of Kittyhawks and a Camaro to be finished during the next two weeks, first, to prevent them becoming KUTA subjects :rofl: .

    What a month! Our daughter moved out (read: me fixing the new apartment prior to, then making The Move, fixing a lot of things after the move, then at home moving her younger brother to the vacated room, fixing the room vacated by him TO BE MY HOBBYROOM :D (and a guestroom too, but a hobbyroom is a hobbyroom). Not to mention  the hassle caused by the car accident, with fortunately only material damage, that forced me to seek and buy a replacement car for my wife (not her fault, btw). Add several day-long work trips and you get quite a busy schedule. So finally last night I found an hour to advance my vic of Mediterranean Spitfires - Life´s Good again B) V-P
