I've got to admit though, I do like the look of the Mi-26 Flying Crane version & if I can find better drawings than the small concept art that's on Aviastar, I might have a crack at it.....


The main undercarriage looks fun but the rest looks fairly simple.   :thumbsup:

I'm not sure without looking at better pics Steve.  Tail seems longer, it's definately fatter at the base.  Not sure if there's something going on with the cockpit, there may be a step there & it's not obvoious how the crane operators cabin is arranged.  Undercarriage should be 'fun'!

I'm not to sure but as you say a couple more pictures would be helpful.
Here's one I modified

Seems to be the crux of it Steve, cut out a chunk of the fuse & add a bit of extra to the tail boom.  Might just be worth it without any of the fine details.
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.

Radish

HobbyBoss 1/72nd Zlin Z-42M, of which I know little, except it was the basic primary trainer of the DDR. It has civil markings in the kit, just one option.
Unusually, the entire wing/fuselage construction (just 2 pieces) is cast in clear plastic along with the seperate canopy. Why?? The rest of the bits are in a more normal pale grey.
What to do with it? I think an RAF University Sqn seems likely.
Also, an Xtradecal sheet for 1/72nd F-100D/Fs....to be used on all sorts of things, not least an F-107 or two. It has USAF, ANG and some foreign markings too....

3 decal sheets from Kits World...
2 in 1/72nd of WW2 B-17 Nose art
1 in 1/48th of P-61 Nose art.....all of these will be ideal for lots of things, including Rocky Horror inspired models.

Yesterday I got an Airfix Gazelle and most of a Heller Transall from Mossie so the Quad Tilt Rotor bash should be doable now.  :cheers: Will get the decals to you soon as I can find them. I've got two grades of decal stash, part used and crappy ones get chucked in a tin, higher grade sheets get filed but I can't find the file!! Guess which one the decals you need are in!  :banghead:

Just being thinking, dodgy I know but some of the Halo transfers from Begemot would look well on the An-124.  ;D

Acquired last month off Evil Bay, but only arrived now:

Mainly bought because it has SAAF decals, which are rather tasty  :drink:

:cheers:

I'll happily take the box off your hands!  Not bothered about the kit - more than enough Shattipusses - but I quite like the box art on that release.

Meanwhile, in other developments at Wooksta Towers, my Tamiya Aston Martin DBS has arrived.  And I am annoyed!  Sodding Tamiya - it's left hand drive!  As opposed to the proper British right hand drive. 

Now wondering if anyone will do a replacement dash...

Aye, a mate of mine got one the other day and he said the same thing, strange considering that the Japaneses drive on the same side of the road as us, must be made for the U.S. market.
