Not to be a bit of a numpty, but if the parts are all off the sprues and cleaned up, but nothing has been painted or glued yet (I have a rather nice KP razorback La-5 in just such a condition), does this count as 25% or less?

 

Best Regards,

 

Jason

 

I certainly wouldn't say so Jason, not started really. Good to go I think.

@DaveyGair Please count me in - I can't help myself. My participation might be hindered by lack of a suitable camera at the moment (telephones that take pictures? 'Tain't natural, I tell ya - everyone knows Bill Gates is secretly downloading all those images as part of his plot to dominate the world - resist! Resist!), but we'll see what happens. If this gets approved, it'll take me a week or two just to decide which stash-denizen to summon from the depths...

 

Thank you!

I have a very antique KP La-7 buried deep down in the vaults of my castle. Shall I collect all my courage and try to build this (for me) unusual object?

I think you should and you'll get encouragement all the way! Welcome.

You're in John, it'll be next year if at all, plenty of time!

I would say so!

 

Looks rather interesting by the way!

Does it cover Soviet designed fighters  or fighters in the Soviet aid force?

Hopefully it is interesting! It only covers Soviet-designed fighters. Lend-lease aircraft will be covered in an upcoming volume.

Go on, just make me want to spend more money!

I like the idea of a Soviet P-39😁

I say give in to your impulses. Unfortunately, it will be a few more years before I even start writing the Lend-lease book. I tend to think of the P-39 as more of a Soviet aircraft, anyway. It's almost as if it were designed with the VVS in mind - good low-altitude performance, able to take off from poor airfields, and with all the heavy armament in the nose. From where I'm typing this in, I can see my P-39 model, resplendent in its red stars. I have another that's painted, but just needs decalling, so that's obviously far too complete for this GB.

 

Best Regards,

 

Jason

Please include me in Davey, would you? I've got an ICM 1/32 I-153 in the stash that's not going to build itself :D 

 

Cheers,

 

Stew

 

I would imagine that isn't too large a model even in that scale?

Welcome on board Stew!

Nice to have you on board Patrice. Remember, doesn't have to be Soviet, can be anything with a red star showing anywhere.

Count me in please.

Not yet sure what with, but there's time to sort out a couple of likely lads between now and then.

Welcome Tony. By the time this (hopefully) comes around I'll be spoilt for choice, I seem to be collecting lots of Soviet WW2 and a few Cold War jets!

Yes please Davey, probably with a Russian Sopwith Triplane.

 

Cheers

 

You're in Cliff, there seems to be so many subjects suitable for this, hopefully will be a nice mix of 'old and new'.

Welcome, I hope this gets into the bunfight and voted for.

I can't update the title as I'm away from the laptop and can't do it on my phone, but we only need ONE MORE!
