That T-90 looks really good. Finally! No more expensive resin conversion kits! Should look good with their modern Russian tanker figure set.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Anyone else wet for this one: 1/144 Tu-134

Excellent, about time someone did an injection 1/144 Tu-134.

The Braz resin one is brilliant, but it's pricey of course.

Zezda has released a Hind A.  Looks like it'll build into lovely model, has a fully detailed cockpit, cabin engine bay and even the gearbox.  Not cheap (I just bought one for £17.50) but it's a highly detailed model out of the box.   Comes with Russian stars and Soviet era Afghan markings which could be good for a whiff or two.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

seen it on the shelves here to, might have to concider getting one, would look nice in South American markings, possibly Costa Rican  :mellow:

Jeepers, that looks complicated, but superbly detailed. I

've always liked the look of the A model rather than the more common D. I may shell out and get one of them.

Got 3 Hasegawa Hind A's last year (all cheaper than original retail including postage!) but I'm going to get one of these new Zvezda ones. All the Hasegawa's were bought for whiffing and the new one (if I can get one) will be Real World Algerian.

I love the way, in the head-on shot, the model is clearly wonky on it's u/c. It's THEIR model in THEIR publicity shots and they've still made a mess of it.

The Hind should be wonky.  It has natural lean to the right (left when viewed head on) when it's parked, although they have put the lean on the wrong side!  From build reviews that I've read of the other variants released by Zvezda, the production models have the lean on the correct side.  Either they got the lean wrong on the test shots, or they re-oriented the photo.

Well I never knew that!

I stand corrected (pity the Hind doesn't...... ;))

Going to have to add an 'A' to the the Hind fleet I'm building up....
