  1. SOVA-M is to release a 1/72nd Embraer EMB-111/P-59B Bandeirante kit - ref. SVM-72051 Source: https://www.facebook.com/story.php?id=100057201259454&story_fbid=976581650925201 V.P.
  2. My second build will be the Sova-M 1/72 HFB-320ECM. I couldn't resist this odd looking thing (the wings are the wrong way round!) when it came out, but it's never quite made it to the top of the build list until now. Here's the kit: Looks like pretty much standard Sova-M/Amodel fare, so I know what to expect. And a photo of the 1/1 scale version, taken at a Boscombe Down show in 1992: Once I've finished the DC-8 in the Asia GB - which should happen this week - I'll start on this. cheers Julian
  3. I'll give it another try; I'll build a General Aviaton plane. Let's see how far I can get it this time before it lands on it's final destination - and will it be the showroom shelf, or the bin? Well, if I look back at the failed attempts and abandoned projects of the more recent past, there where a significant amount of Airliners among them - not especially challenging kits, some as easy as the new Revell Airbus 320 neo. But I failed, mainly at the stage of closing seams, which is for me a crucial part, but I manage to do so at submarines, so it should be doable. And, failing when the bar sits lowest, I think I have to raise it. If I fail with something like a modern Revell Airbus, it probably was to easy and I should go with something more challenging. You get the logic? (Well, there isn't any. But it reads meaningful. Kind of.) Do be honest; reading @S.A. Lady wonderful take on the Jumbo I wanted to splash some white paint on grey plasic as well. Knowing, it will not turn out that nice. But hey one must try to fail with style. 😉 I had three candidates; Roden's PanAm Boeing 720 (not in the mood to hussle with them decals), A&A's Beechcraft Super King Air (need to get some proper blades and stuff first) and Sova-M's Learjet 35A. And, the latter it will be, Ifeel it's the right thing to take on the saddle of a General Aviaton bullride. Yep, Short Run that is. Parts are warped, fit is mediocre, details are basic. This lesson will be not for the faint of heart. Let's see what we've got. Beautiful Boxart, of an Argentine connection plane from the Falkland aera, mentioning that this is limited to 450 pieces. It's a beautiful scheme, and I guess I will build it straight like this. The box is quite cramped with some three larger sprues and some eight smaller sprues, some are duplicates: Decals are quite nice, clear parts are separately packed, and there's a small PE fret included. Instructions are what you'd expect from a short run kit like this - a bit basic: This is not your comfy seat, but requires work. As it says on the tin; This model is executed on the technology short run and is intended only for experienced modellers! Amen, bro! I'm experienced in messing up any kind of kit and failed on even more messy ones - so that counts, I guess? Hey ho, let's go!
  4. Here's my Sova-M 1/72 U-36A Learjet, just finished in the Turning Japanese GB. Build thread is here. OOB build, SMS lacquer paints, no aftermarket used (not that there's much available). As with most recent Amodel kits the larger parts are quite nice, with some nice surface details, but the detail parts aren't great. If I did this again I'd probably 3D-print better parts for the undercarriage and the RM-30 target towing pod. Decals worked quite nicely, but with one obvious issue - the orange cheat line is higher on the fuselage behind the engines than in front, and the decals don't cater for the transition between the two - this was easy to deal with though as there was enough spare decal (the sheet includes spares for most of the main decals) to adapt and address it. thanks for looking Julian
