Learstang Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) Now there's one you don't see every day! You have to give MikroMir credit - they do come up with some unusual subjects. We may yet see a Farley Fruitbat from them. Regards, Jason Edited June 15, 2023 by Learstang 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Just when you think that things couldn't get uglier ... That thing's like a helicopter - it doesn't fly; gravity repels it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Thompson Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 As they say, it looks like it fell out of the ugly tree, and hit every branch on the way down. Or, if a Dyle et Bacalan DB-10 falls out of a tree in the forest and there's no one around to hear it, does it still make squirrels and deer flee in terror? More seriously, is this an injection-molded styrene kit? I know all of MM's past efforts have been, so... Very brave! We should all buy one to show our support! I'll let you guys go first - I don't want to be selfish... Maybe someone will suggest a 1930's ugly French aircraft group build - this kit would fit in well with the ones from the Heller Musee series!

JWM Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Dear designers from Mikromir, If French why not Breguet XIX, 26 or Levasseur PL 15, Loire 257....? If ugly why not Tupolev R6? Please consider all of them! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray S Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 This one is so very different, it is calling out to be bought! I am looking forward to more updates on the project. Nice one MikroMir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is almost as bad looking as the Farman Jabiru, another candidate for the ugly French aircraft group build. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SprueMan Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 It seems that mikromir has completely forgotten about the Supermarine S.6 But ok, in terms of uniqueness... this one really wins. Noone is going to have any doubts about what that is except to define it it impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Kudos to Mikro Mir: I love the imagination of this type of manufacturer. 👌 It's a nice change from endless Spitfires, Bf.109s and F-16s that get churned out each year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oho! I sense a multiple buy - stock kit markings, captured what-if in German markings, and another whiffer in Vichy stripes, perhaps?

Aerodynamics be damned! They were obviously more concerned with elegance and capturing the essence of beauty than stiffly sticking to aerodynamic principles. That is the French for you! I like it. A lot. Edited June 18, 2023 by New Tool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightersweep Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 That thing looks like the result of a mid air collision between a Cunliffe-Owen OA-1 and a Bloch MB 200. Because of that, this will be on my to buy list. If it's French and ugly I want it in the collection. Big thumbs up to MikroMir. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killingholme Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 That is so spectacularly ugly I think I might just have to buy one! Well done MicroMir for taking on these unusual subjects. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
