  1. Hello! According to web references (like this https://www.greeks-in-foreign-cockpits.com/pilots-crews/fighter-pilots/john-agorastos-plagis/) John Agorastos Plagis flew Spitfire VB BL734. But Victory Productions Decal depict number as BL374. Both of thise Spits serves 64 Sqn at the same time. Here are the records from http://www.airhistory.org.uk/spitfire/home.html BL374 Vb CBAF M45M 24MU 1-12-41 504Sq 8-1-42 Hit by BL388 landing Kirkistwon CB 8-3-42 Sgt LJ Dexter safe.

  2. Not Italeri like 🙂 Same as Meng Superhornets and ZM Phantoms.

  4. Many variants from A to E externally has no many differences (mostly guns). Most moulds could be used for all versions. USN Variants are good for US market, colorful greece schemes allows many different boxings.
  5. Let’s try to narrow list of subjects. 1) Western jet 2) wide international use 3) Lack of modern kit or marketing flaws of sale of existing kit (hello FREMS and Hasegawa) Fiat G.91 (announced) BAE Hawk (made in 1/32 scale) Mirage F.1 (announced) F-4E A-7 Jaguar? MB.339?
  6. Some aircraft has no visible flush rivets. Spitfire, Bf. 109, Fw-190 (on wings) for example. It is modern fashion to do rivets on these subjects and very bad in case of representation of real aircraft. Many modellers likes rivets because it boosts artistic expression, but it has no connection to reality.
  7. Hasegawa 1/48 P-39 on this photo. I have no account on their forum so cannot ask why.
  8. Another WA http://walkarounds.scalemodels.ru/v/walkarounds/avia/before_1950/la-11/
  9. It is curious for me - there are Hasegawa and Meng - both are very good. And there is HB - bad in all aspects and overpriced. Which arguments could be in it’s favor?
  10. I have no this HB plastic on hands, but for me it is enough. Overall reputation of this manufacturer and price (3-4 times hihgher than ARK with Quinta IP here in Russia) prevnts me from wasting time and money on further research of HB kit. I found roots of this crap - they used ancient drawings. Some of you could help us - there is La-11 waiting for restoration in Duxford - please, make photos or maybe share photos that you already made.
  11. Part 1 - Canopy And lack of bulletproof glass behind pilot's head
