Under the supervision of SWMBO, from a model shop just around the corner from our hotel in Prague, literally only 2 minutes walk;

1 x 1/48 Eduard Polikarpov 1-16 Type 24 (Weekend Edition)
1 x 1/48 KM Su-7 BM
3 x sets of 1/48 transfers/decals

Young bloke who served us had lived in BrisVegas for a couple of years & could understand Australian, which helped. ;)

And now I have to correct myself;

Firstly, the scale for the kits is 1/48, plus I did not buy the 1/48 KM Su-7 BM, I bought the 1/48 KM (Kovozávody Prostějov) Suchoj Su-25 UBK!

My memories of Prague are of there being 4 model shops within 3/4 minutes walk of the centre of the City  :thumbsup:

Did you make or have you plans to get to the Special Hobby/MPM shop ? It's Nirvana  ;D

Sorry it's taken so long to reply, Chris, but the basic answer is "No."

I was lucky to be allowed to get that one visit in & figuring out which square you were talking about (there are about 4 "main" squares, depending on who you ask) was too challenging, so I took the closest.

Pecka Modelář was the name, one of (as they advertise on their website) 6 stone shops (5x Prague / 1x Bratislava).

I shall merely state that it is the correct scale for me. ;D :thumbsup:

Shame, but as long as you enjoyed yourselves  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Acquired from a friend, the 1995 Limited Edition release of the AMT/ERTL XB-70A-1 Valkyrie. It's in 1/72 and it is huge.
Comes with a little 'Limited Edition' plaque and a nice poster.

Might a be a little big for me so if anyone is after one, please get in touch.  ;)

That's one SERIOUS kit Nick.  :thumbsup:

I've got one too and there's a LOT of plastic in the box, but where do you put it when it's built, eh?

It about the same size as a Concorde  ---- and I've shortened my Concorde by 2"

If I'm not building models, I'm out riding my dirtbike

I would have to hang those from the ceiling at my house as I haven't any shelving big enough. Although it would be hard to keep them out of the way of the ceiling fans.

Maybe not, as by doing so the wingspan, if expressed as a ratio of length, increases.

Hmmm, trying to imagine a long spanned Concorde is pretty difficult. It could be done I'm sure, but it wouldn't be as pretty as the real thing.
