JWM Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 What is shown is R-5, beautifully moulded, BTW. Was the "Natasha" name for only Polikarpov RZ in Spain or for bot: R-5 and R-Z? I do not remember the nick name for R-5 but I have kind of feeling that it was "Russo"? Regards J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Natasha was R-Z, many thanks for recalling name "Rosante' (not Russo) for R-5. Cheers J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cduckworth Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Pleased to see the R-5 in plastic and in 1/48. Years ago I’d seen photos of the resin R-5 by Rest Models and it was very high priced so I passed on it. Mine will end up in the SCW scheme. I’ve also bought AMG’s Bf-109A so they are slowly getting my hobby funds. Edited September 20, 2018 by cduckworth Added text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don McIntyre Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) Wow! I hope the "not another Spitfire" crowd buys this in good numbers, so that AMG will have funding to continue "different" choices like this one. I won't be getting one, myself as it just doesn't interest me that much, plus I'm on a self imposed "ban on biplanes." Now when the Hawker Hart comes out, that may be a different story… 🤔 Edited September 26, 2018 by Don McIntyre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilh Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I'd like to get one of these. I am stalled on building the resin I -3 from Rest models since I snapped the cabane struts, and this one looks equally as nice. Biplanes are not my favourite either - because I do struggle aligning struts - hence the snapped cabanes! Susoectthis one might be a bit easier as the top wing won't weigh quite so much and styrene has more flex than resin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cduckworth Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Received my R-5 today. What a large wingspan! Thrilled to see this in plastic. I wasn’t turned off by the resin offering but the shipping was very high so I never ordered one. There’s no references for the interior color of the cockpit in the instructions; anyone have any references for a 1930’s Russian aircraft. Mine will be finished as a Republican Spanish Civil War a/c.

cduckworth Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Troy I certainly appreciate the pages with the links. Looking at the Rest build on the Spanish site I have to think the AMG kit is a close copy of the resin kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar or repeated errors? I the end, they both represent the same original aircraft. Vedran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
