Very useful resource site on the old East German VEB Plasticart kits:

http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://www.familie-wimmer.com/hobby/hr06/hr06-veb/index.html&ei=R_txSvDnId6OjAe_pKmoDA&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=5&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dplayfix%2Bmil-6%26hl%3Den%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-gb:IE-SearchBox%26rlz%3D1I7FUJC_en-GB

Note that the original site is in German and that's the Google-translated version.

VEB Plasticart kits wern't of super quality and were mostly an odd 1/100ish scale, though there were some bigger ones (inc 1/72nd) too. They did do some very intriguing subjects: 1/100th Baade 152 anybody? 1/25th Vostock?

And here's an intriguing one: VEB folded in the early '90s, but Revell have re-issued at least two of their kits (Be-6 Madge and Junkers G24), so it makes you wonder how many other VEB moulds they bought up too.....

I'd be thrilled by an Injection Baade 152 in any scale :wub:
