Art Model

[Mossie]

I'd agree with that comment, it probably could be made into a good looking model but it'd need a lot of work to it.  Might as well get the Art Model kit, it looks quite tasty!  I could well pick both of these up.

Anybody knows from where came this kit and the  builder web?
Please, tell me how can I put me in contact.
Thank you very match.

Pablo1965, I can only advice you to register at http://scalemodels.ru/modules/forum/ and then send a PM to Art-2... It isn't necessary to speak Russian for becoming Scalemodels.ru forum member. There are already some foreign comrades who don't speak Russian.

doesn't the yak look like a unstelthy jsf?

Yeah, very much so. The planned stealthy successor to the Yak-141, the Yak-43, would have looked even more like a JSF.

Actually guys, it should probably be that the F-35 looks like the Yak given it was around first.

Beat me to it Greg. Like the look of the 43 

Thanks for the pictures of the I-185, will probably add one to the stash

LM actually bought access to alot of the Yak 141 data from Yak to assess the VTOL system much ot it inspired how the main engine rotates and is used in the landing process.

Would be nice if Art Model did the Yak-43 next as an alternative to the JSF but it never got past the drawing stage

The Yak-141 appears to have been released last week according to hobbyterra, we'll have to see if anybody from Eastern Europe brings them to SMW at the weekend

That little Franco/Czech stand in the corner perhaps (where I got my Vautour and a couple of limited release French resin jobbies in the past  )  ? I've already plotted my route there for a browse 

[Thorvic]

Aye i did think of that or the small one that sells the A-Model stuff on the back wall along from Comet. 

[Thorvic]

And as expected its started to appear on Ebay from local sources

(So how many are wondering if there is a faint hope of of these appearing at SMW at the Weekend ?)

The Art Model Polikarpov I-185 is now in stock at Hobbyterra

Having looked at the Bv 155 at Telford, I'm firmly convinced it's a copy of the Special Hobby kit.  Why?  There are two rough lines on the inside surface of the lower wings which are IDENTICAL and in the exact same place on the SH kit. 

SH used the old CMK resin kit as a master and the wings had a different breakdown.  The corresponding lines on the SH kit are where the master was made.

The next ArtModel kit is "uncovered"! It will be Mikoyan I-210 (aka MiG-9 (1st), aka "MiG-3M-82"):

It will be followed by two other MiGs but we don't know yet which ones. It is known only that they will be jet aircraft.

Now that's quite a handsome little thing. Fw190 prop, or even a Spitfire 5-blader for an upgraded version?
