Some WW2 Soviet Fighters

Post by Epap » Wed Feb 13, 2013 7:24 am

The WW2 Soviet air force is woefully underrepresented by tradional diecast and ready-made manufacturers, however, if one tries, it's surprising what one can find. Here are some of my 1:72nd Soviet fighters from WW2:Image

You should get the IXO 1/144 TB-3, the cheapest one I could find on ebay has a $25-$35 price tags.
The TB-3 has to be my favorite Russian bomber.
A helicopter does not want to fly, it just vibrates so much that the ground rejects it

The TB-3 is so ugly that I've held back, so far. Then, again, I have some really bad looking French WW2 bombers also from IXO.

I wish they'd make those in 1/32.
