Michael louey 936 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Of course you're right Meatbox! I blame old age When I get a picture of the Mi 2 I'll start a new thread and leave this one to Mike who owns it. Cheers Michael 2 Link to post Share on other sites
k5054nz 1,206 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I think it's an Mi-1 in Picaros. I've been hunting for a kit so I can make it! I also have a 1/48 Bonanza that may become Syldavian... Beautiful work! I would love to do that Mossie one day. It's brightened my afternoon and I for one LOVE your Skut!

Soviet helicopters aren't my strong suit. I suppose the ultimate Tintin model would be the Carriedas 160. I wonder if it's ever been kitted. Link to post Share on other sites

My kit is a 1/72 Gran kit as it was reasonably cheap and available. I think Special Hobby also made one but I needed one quickly for our club build. I had a look and Special Hobby also did an Mi 1 in 1/48th but not sure about it's availability. Cheers Michael 1 Link to post Share on other sites

dukdalf 11 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Beautiful Mosquito. I have the same Hasegawa kit under construction, destined for the same livery. As for the Bordurian Bf-109 from Ottokar's Sceptre mentioned earlier, that is a true mongrel. It features the broad, early style chin intake seen last on the D-series, it lacks the struts on the horizontal stabilizers that all E-series aircraft had, it has the rounded wingtips of an F or G but an earlier aileron arrangement, etcetera.

Unkempt 771 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Lovely Mosquito. I'm a sucker for Tintin stuff, Herge obviously did a ton of research.

It's the 1/32nd Revell version. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
