Col. Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 A Fantrainer 600! Forgot this aircraft even existed until now; the first time such a machine has been made as a model kit I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzn20 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Never seen a MIg 8 before. Did it fly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Thompson Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) Woohoo! Props to Avis for planning all those Russian types! I'm especially interested in the AIR-7 and the IP-1 - I just hope kits of these obscure aircraft sell well, and Avis are encouraged to do more, including conventional types like the I-16 type 5 and 10, Yak-9D, and Yak-1b. Did the MiG-8 "Utka" (Duck) fly? Yes it did, and apparently quite well. With reference to Bill Gunston's Osprey Encyclopedia of Russian Aircraft 1875 - 1995, the aircraft was designed by technical students and built with the support of the MiG design bureau (OKB). First flight was on November 19, 1945. Few problems were encountered, but the students continued to modify the design by enlarging the underfin and deleting the wing slats. In its final form, it displayed outstanding stability and refusal to spin. Afterwards, the aircraft was used as a MiG OKB hack for many years, according to Gunston.

general melchett Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Ah wonderful, the La-200 01 and the 02 ! Great to see these in the line up, looking at the sprues in the first kit I suspected that they would appear... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzn20 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Thanks very much for the answer John Thompson. I don't think I've ever seen a picture of it before which is a bit surprising but there you go,Something new every day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upnorth Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 A 1/72 Optica in injection form?! Oh Hell yeah!! I've had the Sharkit resin rendition of the Optica prototype staring at me from the shelf for a few years and I've been too nervous to try getting a start on it. Hopefully Avis will give us a production standard version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
