The  Caproni box includes details of organizations able to provide help and support for those whose mental equilibrium  has been thrown into chaos by excess struts and rigging.

I got my first kit (the Airfix Spitfire, what else) in the Crystal Palace branch in the late 50's ? Cost 2/- I seem to remember (10p in new money), and yes that box art is great  :thumbsup:

I assume that is the ultimate status symbol for a 1930's multi millionaire ?

Finland had two SAAB 17A aircraft as target tugs, purchased 1959 and 1960. They didn't serve for long.

An image from 1960 was just posted in a Finnish Aviation History FB group.

MPM did one in 1/48.  You might get lucky.


Revell produced a 1/72 Ar 240 and ICM an Su-2.  These people now seem to be fantasising about worse versions of existing kits.
Or am I missing the point?

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I was wondering about that as well as I have both the Revell and ICM kits in the stash. The Revell one is from when they were into their Luft 46 "Thing" and Beatties was still open in Holborn  ;D

Possibly they're youngsters who weren't around when the kits were, so they have no memory of them?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

The artwork for the Su-2 is simply a copy of ICM box artwork for their Su-2 R version, the Araddo's box art is at least different from the Revell kit, although it does remind me of something ?
