I just ordered a Micro Mir HP Victor from the Ukraine. Pricey and a little basic, but I wanted one at 1/144th scale.

I built half of a Mikro-mir Victor kit a while ago for my HP.111 build, and it's a nice kit. Detailed, and goes together well.

1/72 Saab J35F Draken. Looking at the way the forward fuselage is mounted there may be more variants due:

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.

The Draken looks very good.

My only complaint here is the Vivtor doesn't have the under wing tanks. I like the look of them, and want them for my Falklands build.

Cool, the Draken is good news.

Airfix rather kicked off the 'standard size box' idea in the 70s when they only made 3-4 sizes for all their range. That resulted in the box for their Banshee being able to take TWO of the kits easily!

I think I've got FOUR Magisters in the red box that they did their last reissue in... :rolleyes:

I'd never even heard of this but, bags of whif potential! 😊. I'd hoped to build the Micro Mir Kalinin K-7 in Spanish Republican markings but,   the eye watering cost put paid to that! This will do nicely though 😂

Looks like the S&M kit.  Didn't they tool it for Mel Bromley?

It's also the same decal options in each box as the S&M kit. I'd be surprised if it wasn't the same.

Mossie

That's it.  :thumbsup:  Knew I'd seen it before, couldn't remember where.  Explains why there's a decal sheet already available.

Not exactly cheap for it's size. Got the feeling it slots into the 'turns out nicely with a bit of effort' category.

GOT to better than the M'box one though!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
