Keeping the Postie employed, another <£10 ebay auction win
In horrible black plastic, and sticky with release agent! - 'Moulded in Rassia' !
I have a Yak-23 Flora, and a Mig-15 & this adds to my project of early Russian Jets - not experimental, but production aircraft. Looks like the silver paint will take a bit of a beating...................

Thanks chaps.
The problem is.

When one gets to a certain age, one starts to wonder if one has enough years left to complete the build of such a huge sailing ship....Doesn't one?!... :fearful:

Now now 570, lets not have any of that negativity....There’s plenty of life in the old dog yet:smiling4:

One does! That's why one got rid of one's kit years ago! One just doesn't have half a lifetime left to scrape the flash and mould seams from all the spars and masts!

PS OK. I'll concede that's a bigger box than any I've bought for a while!

Hi Guys, hope the weathers better.

I just got some goodies which I'd been searching for so long. One doesn't have a box and decals which I don't mind deciding to make the RMAF version of the Dart Herald so no pics of it yet but here is a Marlin and a Zveno-SPB.



The Marlin is huge and the Zveno ugly but unique being a parasite with two detailed I-16's. The Marlin will need scribing that I'm ready for anyway. Both decal sheets are still good.

Cheers,
Richard

Richard,
I'm looking forward to seeing you work your magic on these two.

I like the look of the Zveno Richard.

Richard,
I remember making the TB-3 by itself, in Chinese markings many years ago. This was in the age when ICM were a typical Eastern Bloc maker - rather chunky & a little simplified, poor quality plastic, instructions pretty basic & decals that fell apart when shown water. Having said that, it built into an imposing & eyecatching model. Didn't make any I-16s, though. It must have been in the early 2000's, just before I bought a digital camera, 'cos I can't find any pictures of it!

You and I both know someone else who'd like it!

Currently on a self-imposed ‘’no new kits ban’’ but that doesn’t mean any aftermarket stuff can be bought :tongue-out3: .
Was looking for a good Sluff and Delta Dagger set for a time now and after seeing the post on FB, these were bought directly from Furball with some extra’s to fill up the order:

Scottie, I'll have to see where they fit into the wanna build list first. :smiling2:
Ian, me too.
Dave, would have liked to seen it. With the internal structure it would be very sturdy. They say it builds up like flying models with spars and whatnots.

Cheers,
Richard
