Heck, you don't see those very often.  Modern day Mongol horde anyone, someone nugde Terry!?!?!  :party:

EDIT, from the looks of the website, it's this one.  Original on Wings pallete, with the caveat that it's from a poor quality photo & much of details are speculative.  The bottom one seems to match the box artwork on the Airfix website.  Interesting subject & you could get away with doing it any pretty much any way you wanted without whiffing it!

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.

Airfix have re-released their old Il-2, but it's got post-war Mongolian markings as well as the Russian scheme.

Received an Illustrious from Airfix this morning, so its finally out. Nice and big but not excessive although could do with extra aircraft.

If this is Upper Silesia, one can only wonder what Lower Silesia is like.

Hannants have an Airfix 1/72 Spitfire 1a listed in the new releases but with no picture. Does anyone know if this is the promised new tool ? No mention of release on the Airfix site
