It was clear by the pylons and the couple of MARS rocket pods that a Lim-5 was to be next. I just hope that at least some aftermarket comes out so we can be able to make the Lim-6bis fighter-bomber version. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wulfman Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 A missed opportunity, Lim-6 bis is much more interesting ! Wulfman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroubos Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I take it this is essentially just different decals as the rocket pods are already in the original kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wulfman More interesting to you maybe but more limiting in terms of users and would require new parts. I think Airfix have done the right thing here. 2 hours ago, sroubos said: I take it this is essentially just different decals as the rocket pods are already in the original kit. It would appear thus, yes. Looking at the profiles on the Airfix website yesterday, they showed the fin of the Lim-5 retirement aircraft as a single shade of blue, Hi-Decal show it as three shades of blue, photos back this up.

However, the most interesting for aftermarket is Lim5M (60 produced) with twin wheels in main u/c and modified (thicker) wings near fueselage http://www.samolotypolskie.pl/uploads/Products/product_2283/Lim-5M_01.jpg Regards J-W Edited January 9 by JWM 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a nice scratch work! Either from scratch or just build the vacuform mentioned. Today it's available there https://allegro.pl/oferta/lim-5-m-broplan-10516672647 The highest bid at the moment is around £ 12, and the auction ends on Easter Sunday.

TheyJammedKenny! Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Lim-5M: a pig of an aircraft, according to what I've read. I understand what the engineers were trying to accomplish, but they executed it rather poorly. Of course, the Soviets limited what the Polish aircraft industry could do, so there you are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I quite like that East German scheme. Funnily enough, I've never looked twice at this new tool Airfix kit, however that boxtop has caught my eye! Cheers.. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_tonto Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Has anyone seen the sprue shots of this release yet? I'm assuming that there must be an additional sprue with the later ejection seat as only the first few hundred produced had the KK-1 seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK the NVAF option in the previous boxing should feature the KK-2 seat as well. Cheers, Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
