Mr Fox Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 (edited) Good day, dear Ladies and Gentlemen. I am happy to introduce myself to your nice community. My name is Alexander, I am from Moldova, a middle-age male. I build scale models from my youth, periodically ceasing and resurrecting my hobby again. My preferable theme is military aviation. I possessed by airframes of the interwar period, so colled Golden Age. But I do not restrict myself by strict limitations and do not omit land vehicles also. Bellow I post pictures of some of my completed models, made at different period of my modelling career. Photos are not professional, made by smartphone camera. All of them are in 1/72 scale. So if ready to suffer my English, please open the door for a new member. Thanks a lot. Edited September 12, 2022 by Mr Fox 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neddy Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Hi, welcome to the forum. I can assure you that your attempt at my language is hugely better than any attempt I might make at yours! Lovely collection of unusual aircraft models. As an ignorant car modeller I have to ask - what is the fascinating aircraft lying on it's back, looking like a failed pole vault attempt?

Chief Cohiba Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Hello from Vienna, Austria that is. Looks good, and your pictures show interest in more off-mainstream topics, we all love some more often. Well, at least I do! You'll find this a great and welcoming community, where apprecation is much more valued than competition (there isn't any, I'd say). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Soviet paper project "Moskalijov flying tank" (SAM-23) never been externalised / realised. The idea of project was the fact that the low-level flying object is almost impossible to be targeted and shot down. The retractable pole assumed to help the aircraft follow the curves of landscape very close to the surface. Project was rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Hello Mr Fox … from the city by the lake Chicago USA. I too mostly build military aircraft anywhere from the 1930’s to current types. Sometimes I build armor or sci-fi (Starwars) types to break up the oneness of aviation.

In my language it is better identified as Alternative Reality vehicle. I hope this model will be completed in a time and it will be exposed for community. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
