replicant Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Hello mates, Hello! I am Minime: This model from VES is really tiny in 1:72. We bavarian Celts say: Klein und gemein (small and mean ) . It took much, mucho mas longer than expected. There was a certain "Mach2-Effect" or "Zappa-Effect: I´m so wrong...." Papperlapapp: it was huge fun to build this model mostly under 3.5 Dioptren Cheers, Tom 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qn30jEkPz7 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Nice! Has a pleasingly b&w flash gordon vibe to it Edited August 11, 2020 by LostCosmonauts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 My goodness, that is tiny. A nicely built model. I like too the mechanic with tool box and what appears to be a fuel container. Your paint work on all of these is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in a shed Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Nicely done . Very small but it looks like it might pack a punch! Saves on shelf space as well. Cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Dyck Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Hi Tom, it looks much larger on the first pics, more than 48 . So all in all an amazing finish ! Advantage : you don’t need 5 Liter cans of color . Very nice! Cheers Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_W Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Very nice. I remember comming across this aircraft as an add on to the Flight Sim "IL2 Sturmovik". A bit of overlooked history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Hi Sniffing Tom, this does look small, but it does look very good too! Congrats. Has this contraption really existed? Damn! What people didn't do for Mother Russia... It is the first time I have heard the words Bavarian and Celts next to each other in a sentence. Interesting. So your ancestors were guilty not only of trying to hurt our darling Napoleon, but of slaughtering the Roman legions when they tried to venture into your forests for mushroom picking.... Naughty, naughty. Thank heavens you invented Weissbier along the way! Great build! Keep having fun. JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BI-1 bitch killed engineers and test pilots, the kit tried this to me too but my Schneider* saved me. Yes, and we Mangapatate in Ratisbonne, Radasbona, Castra Regina had Marc Aurels Legio III Italica here for longtime and so some of us look a little bit italiano if not africano. In Kelheim (Keltenheim) round the corner they have the Schneider Weißbräu*, best of ol, Skol! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(in completely ficticious camo).... Great model BTW Tom - well executed and painted. It certainly looks much bigger than 1/72 scale.

replicant Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 Thank you, mates! But there has no BI-1 survived, even the exhibit in Monino is a quite less exact replica. All gate guards and pole stars are models in 1:1... (see russianplanes.net they have all of them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
