Sukhoi SU-7U in Indonesian Service.

Only problem was the Indonesians never operated any version of the SU-7...

Where's the problem?

Found this interesting 1:48 F-16 in Brazlian colors for sale...

Was (tried to be) sold here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Built-and-painted-1-48-Brazil-F-16-Falcon-Hasegawa-What-if-scheme-/201535352016?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276

That's a very interesting camo for the Viper, looks to be a very well built and painted model.

Dizzyfugu · August 16, 2016, 11:58:15 PM

The cammo reminds me a lot of Tunisian F-5s, but it suits the F-16 well. Just a weird combo with Brazilian markings - but a nice model indeed, even though noone obviosuly wanted it...

Cool camo for sure. Pricey

Interesting camo scheme on the Beaufighter in this listing:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bristol-Beaufighter-MkX-RD439-RAF-1-72-kit-built-finished-for-display/311681158403?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D38813%26meid%3D0370116e5e804edca43f74a42ca89735%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D311681135923

Pity the build and paint quality is so poor - what's the builder used to paint it? A toilet brush?

The base and vehicles are also quite nice. Busy.

There's also a Testors Swift - markings from the 1990s release for an FR5 but the kit is supposedly an F4 and wrong for that too.

That beaufighter reminds me of a Coastal Command Avenger I've seen some time ago - also an intersting sight!

Another ev!lbay find - a Matchbox-Mash-up:

Captain Canada · August 29, 2016, 04:14:06 PM

That's awesome ! Those crazy Matchbox CF-104 decals are hilarious eh !

chrisonord · September 02, 2016, 12:39:48 PM

Did one of the pilots spill his beer down it getting in?

I'm not sure what anime/comix this girl comes from, but the flying bike she holds has Italian roots. Some more pictures from the www show the same girl/plane combination:

And here some more info.
I play with the idea to convert WWII airplanes into antigravity bikes since years. This "Reggiane" (minus the girly) looks very promising to me!

Captain Canada · September 24, 2016, 03:00:44 PM

That's pretty wild ! The spinner sure looks good.
