  1. I can't keep up with all these new releases from the Ukraine...... Hot on the heels of the Modelsvit M-17 Mystic, comes the new 1/72 scale Amodel kit of the Soviet-era jet flying boat - the Beriev Be-10 'Mallow'. Box art..... Probably due to mould size limitations, the fuselage is in front and rear halves - which might make for an interesting joint !! The third part of the fuselage is the tail gun position - plus the centre section and wing fences. Upper and lower centre section parts.... Upper..... .... and lower wing halves.. There is quite a lot of flash present - but the engraved panel detail is well executed Ken
  2. " Сами не летаем – другим не дадим." ["Don't fly – don't let anyone else."] -- Unofficial motto of the Войска ПВО СССР, Soviet Voyska-PVO -- the branch of the armed forces which operated interceptors and SAMs for home defense. "The Soviet estimate of their own effectiveness against high altitude penetrators must have been high... planning factors for the probability-of-kill of SA-2s (given launch inside engagement parameters) were 0.8. Similarly, the handbook probability-of-kill of the air-to-air missiles on Victor Belenko's MiG-25 was 0.86. These are end-game probabilities of kill in Western analytic jargon. If the PVO command and control system could enforce at least two end-game engagements for each penetrator, the bomber attrition would have been estimated as above 0.95." -- "SOVIET STRATEGIC AIR DEFENSE: A LONG PAST AND AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE", James T. Quinlivan, RAND Corporation, September 1989 "The other attack option available to pilots was ramming- -a much celebrated tactic used in the Great Patriotic War and even in modern conditions. "Given the high value of a nuclear -armed strategic bomber this tactic presents a good trade-off and has been explicitly endorsed in the VPVOS press, but ramming requires flying skill at least as great as that for gun attacks and would be unlikely to greatly increase VPVOS effectiveness. "The conclusion of most Western analysts is that the VPVOS did not present a very effective defense against low altitude penetration during the 1960s and 1970s." -- John William Rix Lepingwell, Organizational and bureaucratic politics in Soviet defense decisionmaking: a case study of the Soviet air defense forces, MIT PhD Thesis, c.1988 I was going to do a joint Spitfire build with Cookie after I finished the Hunter, but we're both a bit worn down at the moment, and I wanted to wait until happier times to build my favourite aeroplane. The Yak-28P is probably one of the less well-known Soviet aircraft of the Cold War. It was never exported, never served overseas (unlike the Su-15 -- which used the same radar and missiles -- a few of which were apparently briefly stationed in Egypt during the War of Attrition), and labored more or less in obscurity as part of the PVO (in the USSR, the air defence command was an entirely seperate and independent service from the VVS, the tactical air force) covering lower-priority sectors of the vast Soviet Union against the possibility of NATO intruders. It was phased out around the same time as I was born in 1983, which seems more recent than it actually is. I probably wouldn't know anything about it if there wasn't a two-page full-colour spread of it and the paltry selection of stores it could carry in Bill Gunston's Modern Warplanes book, which I must have first seen in 1988 or 1989. I thought it looked incredibly unlike any NATO plane (my favourite at the time, by the way, was the hapless Tornado F.2), and spectacularly Russian. Of course, now I know it's a rather old-timey-looking design for the late 1950s from whence it sprang (it and the F-4 Phantom are contemporaries), but despite its vague resemblance to an Me 262, there's just a bit of muchness to it: the nose is too long, the wings too swept, the whole thing too pointy. I dig it. When I got back into modelling in 2011, I happened upon a secondhand kit of it in a local hobby shop and bought it immediately, only to discover it lacked a radome, which pyro-maniac kindly sent me. I then read that it was a bit of a tough build and left it at that, until now. [fanfare] 20161006_214424 by Edward IX, on Flickr 20161006_214430 by Edward IX, on Flickr Hmmm, "prefer quality". Well, I like to think I do. I like my models like I like my women, beautiful surface detail, expensive, and locked up safely in the basement. And look, only three steps, basically, and then it's all together! 20161006_214418 by Edward IX, on Flickr Sprues don't look too bad. Low parts count is good. 20161006_214442 by Edward IX, on Flickr what the butt 20161006_214457 by Edward IX, on Flickr This should be a hole. 20161006_215101 by Edward IX, on Flickr "Intriguing" fit. 20161006_215818 by Edward IX, on Flickr I've started the cockpit tub: 20161006_225434 by Edward IX, on Flickr From what I know of Sovjets, they didn't start getting their delightfully hideous vomit green cockpit interiors until the late 1960s, so this aircraft should have a restrained light grey with black instrumentation. A three-part nosewheel bay, which I then have to capture between the fuselage halves! Oh, Amodel, you spoil me. 20161006_225430 by Edward IX, on Flickr
  3. OK a month to go on this GB so I will have a go at another model, seeing as the TU-104 is complete, bar a few aerials etc! I like the Amodel Russian subjects and they build into a decent representation of the real thing in my opinion. Here goes - quick pics so I can get cracking later today. Usual wobbly panel lines but its a simple looking kit and I think it will build quickly. Might use the Aeroflot kit decals, but not sure how good they are - anyone got any experience here? Windows I hope to fill with the Humbrol stuff if they are not too big - will do a test later. I have the Amodel Il-12 so I may build that alongside in a production line style! Again decals look questionable but what are the aftermarket options?
  4. Hi guys, Glad to finally get up my second ever RFI on Britmodeller... Where does time go?! I have been on here for 5+ years I believe.... might get another done before the year is out too...! Built for my Water Bomber IPMS SIG... the eagle eyed will see a few decals are missing, the top red band and a few little thin white lines... they all broke into a million pieces sadly, and I can't get any replacements as of yet... It will be on the 580 Modellers Club at SMW this coming weekend, but please don't look to closely.. I have also just noticed a bit of over spray on the top of the wing but rubbed that off, so there is now no dark/light area on the top right wing surface... silly me! One thing I have learnt, is I now really like 1/144th scale, even though it has taken me a few months... Thanks for looking, any comments good or bad welcome!

  20. Hi y'all Been working on this for a while; slow progress as I've been building a Westland Sioux but has since regained some steam and thought I'd post a WIP. The majority of photos are a rag tag of shots taken during various stages of the build The kit is the 1/72 Amodel MBB BO-105 which I'm building in North Scottish helicopter livery (they were under the management aviation umbrella and eventually became Bond helicopters). The Bölkows where used as shuttle 'taxis' in the early days of North Sea oil and gas between rigs and accommodation barges and the like. Before I get on with the show I'd like to extend a huge thanks to fellow BM'er "Troschi" (Felix) - what this guy doesn't know about helicopters isn't worth knowing I received great amounts of information on the Bölkows including drawings / pictures of the long range fuel tanks and also a lovely set of resin floats. Here we go... The kit A selection of various parts: the troop seats are scratch built. You can see the long range fuel tank (it's a bit short but with the fuselage halves closed up it looks okay). The pilot and front passenger seat have received some additions too (the last two photos show further work and the current status of them). A dry fit photo prior to the fuselage parts being glued together. Followed by pics after the afore mentioned being glued together (note the long range fuel tank poking out the back - I'm sure you've all guessed but I will be finishing this with the clam shell doors open) Below is where I'm currently at with this build. This photo was 'borrowed' from Nigel Heath (I hope he doesn't mind) The rear bulkhead and troop seats glued into position. The pilot and front passenger seats are almost finished. I just need to secure parts of the harnesses and apply some shading. I'm very pleased with seats... The pilot seat of the North Scottish operated Bölkows had a life raft fitted behind it as far as I'm aware. I rolled up some kitchen foil, painted with vallejo colours and added a seat belt from a spare etch set. I think the colour might not be correct but some artistic licence here to add a splash of colour to the interior as the aircraft will be predominately white. The warning label on the rear of the front passenger seat was an educated guess on my part and to add some visual interest. My walk around book of the Bölkow does have this sign on a German military BO105 but most likely did not appear on the livery I am intending to finish this kit in. However, my intention is to try and represent a safety card notice that we find in modern civilian aircraft. It may not be correct but again I think it will liven up the interior a little bit. This was made by painting some Tamiya masking tape with vallejo paints. Here is the aircraft I indeed to recreate This time in colour Thanks for looking *edit* another big thanks to members of Prrune and a pilot who use to fly these choppers for North Scottish for the info he has passed on.
