Nice

So if lindberg made the same error is their one actually 1/72nd ?,:p

Ahhh heading towards the Airfix Foden tractor to re-create the famous photograph .....come on Airfix the Dogfight double we all need !

Barrage is clearly a 1/24th Barrage baloon !

Superb

Looking great!

Theres nothing offensive about the size of my deck

You win the internet today

Some people like certain boxes for nostalgia reasons

Very cool

Beautiful job ....i like how youve gone for an on screen apperrance rather than the slightly overdone splinter look in the instructions

Love it

Stunning

Lets hope its not getting reissued due to it possibly been the most innaccurate airfix kit ever...the nose is closer to 48th than 72 🤪

I would if i wasnt in New Zealand

Xtrakit is based on a inaccurate set of plans ...the wing tips /sweep is way off and difficult to correct

Wrong site .... The site was scalemodelnewsxtra..... .which looks like it may now be back after a 4 month absence http://scalemodelnewsxtra.blogspot.com/2011/05/airfix-vostok-rocket-part-2-is-white.html?m=1

Anybody know whats happened to Mats website "scale model world(or was it news?) Lots of important articles now gone

Ive got them but havent used them yet

Stunning

Very nice ...yhe show screened here in NZ from 75 or 76 from nemory and repeated on sat mornings in the 80s

The green strawberry sets are excellent

Anybody compared it to the pavla original? Looks pretty much the same

It certainly looks better proportioned than the Anigrand kit with its way too large engine pods ! A lot of the concerns about the Anigrand kit been too short and not deep enough is due to comparisons with the Ginter plans ...which are either oversize or close to 72nd depending where the fuselage length is taken from ...the Anigrand engine pods and wings however match the Ginter drawings far more closely than the fuselage (emphasing just how out of proportion it is ) the Micro Mir kit is very underscale compared to the Ginter plans (not that it matters if they are overscale ) as long as the Mir kits wings and engine pods are in correct proportions to tge fuselage we are fine ....maybe measure the scale height of the human figures in your excellent photo comparison ...if they are only 4.5 feet tall we have a problem

Its arrived ....im really hoping the 72nd scale plans in the Ginter book are overscale other wise the model is seriously underscale will do some measuring over the weekend but the fuselage is 1.5cm short in length and about 7mm to shallow in depth against the plan...looks like a xb51 though even if it does turn out to be 1/78th
