Sundowner14 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 My son’s girlfriend’s grandfather (stay with me) ‘borrowed’ an Aero C-3A to defect from Czechoslovakia with 2 other families. This kit is therefore number one on this year’s list for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28ZComeback Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 That must be an amazing story of escape. They must have flown at treetop level to avoid the Russian and Czech Migs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truro Model Builder Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Looks to be a mighty fine model. I suspect the Si 204D night fighter will be along at some point, and I have always liked the idea of the captured 'AIRMIN4' in RAF markings.

Please keep posts in the rumour section on topic, Julien Whilst one of my comments may have had a passing reference to Revell interiors it also asked a very pertinent question about the cowlings on the SH Siebel. Once somebody as got their grubby mitts on this kit can they provide a front on view of the cowlings please? Previous kits have got the shape all wrong and I'm keen to see what SH have done here.

Not sure about other differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
