DaveyGair Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I've been collecting quite a few kits of WW2 Soviet aircraft lately and was wondering if anyone would fancy this proposal for a GB. Absolutely anything that has markings/insignia/flag of any nation with at least one Red Star clearly visible, even kill markings. Also, the Star only has to have at least some solid red in it, which I believe other nations have. The Star doesn't have to be on its own, it can be part of an emblem or shield and suchlike. Just to be clearer and open this up a bit, the Red Star doesn't have to be on a Military Aircraft/Vehicle/Ship, it can be a civilian vehicle, racing car, even an ancient warrior's shield. So, anyone have anything in stash?

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️ OOOOOH Me Me … I have a Lagg 3, La-7, & Yak-9 that I was going to do later this year. I can hold them until this goes, as I want to add a MiG-3, I-16, and La-5 amongdt others. Would this also be open to lend-lease and captured re-purposed aircraft ?

JOCKNEY Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Well it would be just plain rude not to I've got quite a few big potential builds for this one, so plenty of time to choose. Cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Absolutely! Just looking at my decal stash I can do Algerian, Belarussian, Bulgarian (Cold War era), Chinese, Georgian, Kazakh, Moldovan, Mongolian, North Korean, Yugoslav, Russian and Soviet air forces, all of which have some form of red star in their insignia. Then there would be a few US (and maybe other nations) aggressors. Plenty of interesting options! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Stuart Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 No idea what I'd build - there are so many options, both on land and in the air. OK, I’m in, worry about with what later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome Marklo, I have yet to add a MiG-3 in 1/72nd, apparently the HobbyBoss one is good, even though a snap together kit. Davey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that will be the bulk of it Robert but it's open to anything, for instance things like commercial vehicles with a red star motif, racing cars/bikes, that sort of thing but I think we'll see a lot of Soviet and Eastern Bloc wingy things! First up for me, if this gets going at all, will be Special Hobby's Soviet boxing of their Boston with the replacement turret mounting a 12.7mm UBT(?).

Ow the cat is oput of the bag. Stilöl I hope some good soul releases the 75th anniversary markings, THAT would be a treat. Of course there is the back-up option of a Belgian F-16, although there the star is in the squardon insignia. But it is quite red 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Definitely up for this as I really like Soviet/Russian aircraft and like building things from Eastern Europe too, I am part way through a Yugoslav Mosquito which would have fit the bill perfectly. Far too many in the stash to choose from at the minute so I will wait until nearer the time, though I have been looking at some decals in the stash for Yugoslav Yak-3's and Il-2's.

I have a couple of Il-2's and nearly all of the Yak's you can model plus other Soviet WW2 stuff and a few jets, endless possibilities!

I'm sure your knowledge of WW2 Soviet aircraft will be invaluable, just got to get your book on Soviet bombers to go with the ones on my Fire10, very good reading and lots of info for the modeller.
