Oh me, oh my! That looks rather tasty. Had a soft spot for the SB-2 ever since I found a Novo kit of the type in a newsagents while on holiday as a nipper (picked up a Skua by the same manufacturer at the same time - and have been fond of that type ever since, too!). Looking forward to this being officially released in hopes I can put the recent purchase of the excellent monograph by Mikhail Maslov ("Tupolev SB") to good use!

That looks fantastic - but can I bear to part company with the MPM vacform that's in the stash?

I have three if that's any consolation - one started, with scratchbuilt wheel well detail and reworked air intakes. I'm all for giving old kits a chance, but in some cases - such as the mpm vac - finiteness of human lifespan enters the calculation.

To be followed.

And finally for the evening, we did get some information about the next items coming from Bobcat. Next will be the Yak-28PP - the electronic warfare variant - as depicted here. This is slated for April release. Also the Tupolev SB that many have asked about is still on the way and slated for the April/May time frame. So lots to look forward to!
