I've come across a company called Modelsvit - it seems to be a Ukrainian based outfit that produces models of prototype/obscure aircraft, mainly in 1/72, but this caught my eye.............[ATTACH]322942[/ATTACH][ATTACH]322943[/ATTACH]
The Curtiss Ascender in 1/48!
Another that caught my eye was the Dassault Mirage Balzac, sadly in 1/72. There are a whole host of 1/72 Russian prototypes, that I would have to research, just to see if they had flown! i.e.[ATTACH]322944[/ATTACH]

Has anyone had any experience of Modelsvit? - Short run, or state of the art? They seem to be pretty available, Hannants have a load in stock, prices ranging from £13 to an eye watering £442 for a 1/72 Ruslan!. There is a Facebook page, which is quite informative about products

There's also a website I found just by doing a google search. Lots of very unusual flying things as Dave says. Not my thing but nice to see someone willing to tackle so many prototypes and the like.

It’s more useful if you link to it (Though that site isn’t actually by the model producer themselves, but by their Bulgarian importer.)

Agreed, lots of things you don’t often see models of.

The Facebook page seems to be the only direct link to Modelsvit https://www.facebook.com/modelsvit/ .

From YouTube - a look at the mighty HK 1/32 Lancaster!
* 1/32 Lancaster*
A lot of plastic - clear or solid fuselage halves, be a pity to hide all that detail!
For those who love Lancasters, have a lot of space to display it, and deep pockets.
I'm afraid I fail on all three!, so I can only look on in envy awe amazement admiration.

The first rail wagon from MiniArt - Dual Gauge. MiniArt already have rail track sections, is this the start of a new range of models?
Dave
ps - I've downloaded the instructions for this - pretty detailed, comes with European gauge track section. You'd need to buy the Russian track separately.

After the 1/32 HK Lancaster, now, the 1/32 B-24J Liberator from HobbyBoss
* 1/32 Liberator *
That, in an all metal finish will look, ummmm - IMPRESSIVE!
