While the @Homebee sleeps, I'll crack his news - 3!💪😁 On Moscow "МИР ДЕТСТВА 2021" ( WORLD CHILDHOOD 2021) expo , has announced a 1/48nd of Yakovlev Yak-9 from Zvezda in 2022. B.R. Serge P.S. As far as I understand, the whiskey truck overturned on the street @Learstang , in addition to the overturned candy truck! 😉😁😁

While the @Homebee sleeps, I'll crack his news - 2!😉😁 On Moscow "МИР ДЕТСТВА 2021" ( WORLD CHILDHOOD 2021) expo , has announced a 1/72nd of Yakovlev Yak-9 from Zvezda in 2022. B.R. Serge P.S. On street @Learstang the candy truck has finally turned over! 😉😁

While the @Homebee sleeps, I'll crack his news!😉👿 On Moscow "МИР ДЕТСТВА 2021" ( WORLD CHILDHOOD 2021) expo , has announced a 1/48nd of Sukhoi Su-25 from Zvezda in 2022. Greetings in Frogfoot world! B.R. Serge

Well, I know a whole company that has it stable! The VES was called. True, we say: "Stability, a sign - skill!" 😉😁 B.R. Serge

This is most likely a problem of deformation of one of the halves, probably some sprue was pushed out of the mold too early. It was necessary to remove the inner profile using a template and make an inner plastic insert that would simply lift up one of the fuselage halves. B.R. Serge

Most funny, design 1942-1945: modern design drone-kamikaze "Lancet-3": "Everything new is well forgotten old" 😉😁 B.R. Serge

Hi, Dennis! As far as I know - not, but developments tend to migrate and sometimes the model expected from one firm comes out from another. This is rare, but it happens, so I will not be categorical in my statements. Sorry, without comments. I tell them the same thing! 😁😎 B.R. Serge

"some damage caused to the moulds" & "someone who is not longer in a position to make such decisions" 🤔 Are these events related to each other? Could the meeting of very respect shareholders , not seeing profit, 😁simply hit "someone who is not longer in a position to make such decisions" with a moulds on Swift, as a result of which we have a "some damage caused to the moulds" and a broken "someone who is not longer in a position to make such decisions"! 😉😁 By the way, for my part, I did everything possible to save Swift - I bought two Swift! 😎 😁 Don't worry comrade, when modelling 72nd scale communism wins all over the planet, we will send all these agents of world 48 scale imperialism to the modelling GULAG, where we will force them to produce highly detailed aftermarket set (cockpit interiors, wheel bay) for a scale of 1: 144, from Siberian pine😁, with a hand-held chainsaw! Do You think the rate of production of 50 sets at 1: 144 per day will be enough to re-educate them from 48th to 72nd scale or should we set 100? Of course, we will send to the modelling GULAG only on the basis of the decision of a special troika of 72nd scale members of Britmodeller, everything must be legal! 😁😁 If it were not for the pandemic, then one model from this list we could see on sale this month, but due to uncertainty in sales and local lockdowns, its completion dates are constantly being pushed back. B.R. Serge

🤔 I should be in her place! 😁 B.R. Serge P.S. What is the name of this cat breed?

So, are You saying that J-20 is J-8B on steroids? Mighty steroid Dragon? Sensation hypothesis!!! 😉😁 B.w. I came across a no less sensational article here, where the author gives an unfounded hypothesis that the D-8 is based ..... drum roll .... on the Sukhoi T-5 !!!! 😁😁 As a demonstrative attempt to pull an owl onto the globe 😁😁😁, even even a photo is given: http://alternathistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/27796_800.jpg http://alternathistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/28122_800.jpg http://alternathistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/28177_800.jpg But if we look on poor scheme given in the article as evidence of the similarity of T-5 and J-8: http://alternathistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/28434_original.jpg We will suddenly see that the main wheel bays of the T-5 are completely different from the J-8, because the T-5, like the Su-9/11/15, is completely retracted into the wing, at the same time, the wheel of the J-8 is retracted into the fuselage. like the MiG-21 / I-7/I-75/E-150/E-152. The complete conspiracy opus is here: http://alternathistory.com/promezhutochnyj-sovetskij-samolyot-t-5-i-ego-postoyannaya-kitajskaya-kopiya-j-8/ B.R. Serge

I know one where not use RLM81 and RLM82: 😉😁 B.R. Serge

No miracle for 72nd scale. B.R. Serge

Is this three-blade propeller, on photo, also included in the Tu-128 Trumpeter kit? For Tu-128TP? 😁 Do not be upset about the ejection seats KT-1 from NeOmega, because the A-models Tu-128 also have problems with them. Ejection seats KT-1 from NeOmega also too big for A-model cockpit. This may be due to the fact that NeOmega ejection seats were originally made for the Tu-22M model and were part of its cockpit aftermarket detail set. B.R. Serge

Two portraits (to each!) Anushavan Ovanesovich Mikoyan (Mikhail Iosifovich Gurevich portraits optional on additional request!) this comrade! 😁🤝 But I don't think that the MiG-17PF will be, because they have poor Dragon repack ordinary MiG-17 in own catalog. Yak-38 maybe will be, but I'm not sure if it will be a Zvezda. In general, there was a hint that there will be two new items in 72nd scale. B.R. Serge

Bf.109TL & Me.262 these are structurally different aircraft, while Bf.109TL is a project and Me.262 is its evolutionary development embodied in metal. In the case of the aircraft shown here, their projects were not embodied in real samples, so do I understand correctly that You are proposing to go not to conformity with real paper projects, but to conformity with a certain ephemeral fantasy that exists only in the heads of model manufacturers developers, and does this fantasy of modelers exist only because they were too lazy to collect and study documentation on these projects? Or should I believe that the Turks from Pioneer-2 did not make the wrong and crooked-oblique Ta-183 that did not correspond to any known factory drawings, but good only because maybe, probably, it could someday be so? O.K. Let's take what we know from B.V.211. This is the only known real part from B.V. 211: http://alternathistory.com/files/users/user4907/Blohm %26 Voss BV P 211-01.JPG http://alternathistory.com/files/users/user4907/Blohm %26 Voss BV P 211-02.JPG and its drawings: http://alternathistory.com/files/users/user4907/Blohm %26 Voss BV P 211-06.JPG it is she who determines the entire internal filling of this aircraft: http://alternathistory.com/files/users/user4907/Blohm %26 Voss BV P 211-04.JPG now we take the BMW-003 engine (for example, from the He-162 Dragon model) and try to install it according to this cutaway: http://alternathistory.com/files/users/user4907/Blohm %26 Voss BV P 211-05.JPG inside the BV.211 model from Special Hobby ....does not work? And it cannot work, because the Special Hobby wheel bay are wrong! Exists the laws of internal layout, which depend on the external aerodynamic structure, besides, You can never cram more into less, i.e. You will never be able to shove wheels from the Ju-88, for example, into the wheel bay of the Me-109. Only that. What structural could the main wheel bay be? From the side of the canopy, they are limited by a partition that is visible on the cutaway , from above they are limited by a power part, most likely the front part of the BMW 003 engine is visible there, which is logical, since in this way the engine is convenient to maintain and inspect. B.w. Graham are You have in collection models B.V.211, B.V.212, FW.P.II and FW.Flitzer or not? B.R. Serge

I have B.V.211, B.V.212 & F.W. P.II....B.V.212 I build....and exchange on some as unbuild B.V.212 ..😁 So I have a couple of pennies on these models: - B.V. 211 not bad but have problem with section fuselage where the rear of the engine ends and the tail boom begins; - B.V.212 have only problem with uncorrect view main wheel bay; - F.W. P.II - it's catastrophic model, because as I think this project have tail, fin and adapted wing as on FW-190D or Ta-152H, in addition, the nose section with canopy was most likely like Flitzer, engine nacell was probably closer to Me-262 nacell....what is left of the model of a Special Hobby? That's right - nothing!!! - FW Flitzer unlike Revell probable have correct fuselage dimension ( not one of the German engines, scaled down to 1:72, will not fit inside the Revell fuselage!) but have uncorrect nose section with canopy - here Revel is more accurate. In general all this model have poor intake, exhaust, cockpit and wheel bay interior e.t.c. Objections that this is Luft'46 are not accepted, because, with the exception of P.II, a lot of original design documentation (including mock-up) for these projects has been published on the Internet. According to P.II, but not enough, as far as I remember, only the original cutaway is published. B.R. Serge

Sorry, but I am mainly interested in planes in the paint of the country of the manufacturer of this plane. Therefore, what was there in the Warsaw Pact I have no idea. However, before this topic 😁, I had no idea that there are two different Su-17s ..... of course I did not, yeah! 😁 As I wrote, Kazakhstani MiG-27s as an interceptor: - in clear intercept role: https://m.vk.com/album368455190_254704325?z=photo368455190_457248874%2Falbum368455190_254704325 https://m.vk.com/album368455190_254704325?z=photo368455190_457248879%2Falbum368455190_254704325 - not almost interceptor, but also with solid arsenal AIM: https://m.vk.com/album368455190_254704325?z=photo368455190_457248876%2Falbum368455190_254704325 B.R. Serge P.S. B.w. does anyone know why this decal https://www.hobby.dn.ua/hadmodels-had-72200-dekali-24vd-ubiitsy-ucheniya-load-diffuser-2008-p-94134.html is called: HAD 72200 decal Mi-24V/D « F-15 killer» (maneuvers Load Diffuser 2008) ??? 😲 Hungarian Mi-24s shot down a massive F-15 in training air battles? 🤔 How low the F-15 fell in my eyes !!!😁😁😁

Don't load the cat! 😁 B.R. Serge

Because it was a component of the Russian Martian program: @Martian will confirm the veracity of my words, because he saw everything that is under the link in the video on YouTube directly to Mars! You ask: "What does the MiG-19 have to do with Mars?" Well, how could a farmer get to Mars? Only on the MiG-19! 😉😁😁 B.R. Serge

In North Korea, Cuba, by definition, there was no money, nevertheless, for some reason they not only did not fall apart and did not capitulate, but also developed their military-industrial potential ... therefore, it is not about money. By the way, the main reasons for the deterioration of the financial situation in the USSR include the anti-alcohol campaign, which led to a lack of revenue in the budget and the creation of cooperatives that brought money out of legal circulation into the shadow economic sector, both decisions were made by directive in 1985 and 1987, respectively; by 1989, a shortage of products began and the purchasing power of the ruble began to decline while the money supply increased, i.e. actually inflation. As You can see, these internal reasons for the weakening of the economy are artificially created. But about combat potencial MiG-23 from CIA! View from USSR stolen CIA! 😁😁 It should be noted here that the military potential of Soviet aircraft in the course of computer modeling by Soviet military analysts was estimated on the basis of real data, and the military potential of Western aircraft was assessed on the basis of advertising data. The curiosity of this approach is evidenced by the fact that the military potential of the F-14 was estimated higher than the F-15 !!! 😁😁😁 By the way, in the 1975 edition of the Aviation of the Capitalist States I have, the publication that belonged to some pilot on the village of F-15A was manually attributed under wing bombs ... which the combatant F-15A / C never carried ... but in the USSR in it was believed and included in the assessment of the combat potential! Nevertheless, even with these parameters, the MiG-23M corresponded with JA-37, F-4E, Mirage F.1 and F-111A ...but in reality military potential MiG-23MLD was more higher than MiG-23M. B.R. Serge

Hi, all! Probably, this work on guided aerial bombs of the Red Army Air Force pre-war and WW2 will be of interest to someone. 1. Self-Guided photocontrast air bombs KAB-436 and KAB-5103 (design NII-24) tasted from 1939 to 1941: Bomb KAB-436 - anti ship bomb - " cruiser/ battleship killer" 2. TV-controlled airbomb TUB (Design LIIS) 1942 -project: 3. Self-Guiding Infrared air bomb SB1-M (design VEI) Work from 1942 to 1945, tasted in 1945, late infrared head used on post war self-guiding Infrared air bomb SNAB-3000 "Crab": More information in Russian article "Tele-controlled Red Army: guided aerial bombs of the Red Army" here: https://zen.yandex.ru/media/id/5f251c2d9c243b211cc751a5/teleupravliaemye-krasnoarmeicy-upravliaemye-aviabomby-rkka-5f8ade46a70d4515e74e9aae?fbclid=IwAR1_mibZyMHLcB5WKpf28xrVWT4Ww4EMDcv1OjH1jUS34obsdWNQCa8RiM8 B.R.

B.w. other photo with grey colour radome SM-12PM further development of the MiG-19: Another interesting photo of a MiG-17PF taken by a DS-8 stewardess (on the photo with Soviet "papiroses" - cigarettes without a filter 😁 ) : during its interception and subsequent forced landing at the Soviet airfield Burevestnik, Kuril Islands in 1968 (known also as "Iturup incident" https://topwar.ru/19237-iturupskiy-incident-1968-goda.html ) : What's the color of the radar here? Gray or Green? The photo was subsequently published by the Times magazine, maybe someone came across a photo with better colors? B.R. Serge
