Fascinating! Thank you for getting back with that.

Side note..   this is the first I'd heard of "missile cooling systems."  I had to look that up. I just thought they flew through the sky...  It never occurred to me that they would heat up to 6,000 degrees (F) in flight.

Found on the Oishi Models Art Studio page with literally zero information given. The pictures are kind of large, but that's a plus in this instance because the detail work is nice. As per usual, use the handy slider bar below the pics or click on them to reduce the size.

Yeah.. that weathering!! Impressive! I hope I can do stuff like that some day. I wish I knew more about these. I googled "G. Macbarn" to no avail.

I'm not sure this is a whif. I stopped and did a google search but didn't see anything. I didn't spend all too much time looking, though.

Found on the Civil Model Aircraft page on facebook. No credit given... they provide a link on the post itself but all it does it go to the picture of the plane.

Anyway, it was billed as a 1/144  Scratch Build Khai-3.

Well the Khai-3 project was for a large flying wing style motor-glider transport with twin fuselages. Unicraft do a kit for those of you brave enough. so that's obviously not a Khai-3.

I think it's a Khai-4, which strangely preceded the 3.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

That explains why everything I looked at when I looked it up was of a different plane. LOL

AFAIK the name written on the fuselage (Ossoaviachimovetz Ukrainy) is in fact one of the names given to Khai-4. The other name was "Iskra".

That must be a different one as it has more than one propeller blade  :wacko: :-X

LOL! ^ 

;D ;D  That was rather a bummer I Imagine for that person's model but I can't help but laugh at the pictures in my mind of a convulsing plane as one blade whips around....      :o
