You still see them everywhere in the former USSR.

Huh? Those are squares and rectangles. The Russians use hexagons.

Short answer: no Long answer: unless you have access to actual engineering drawings from the manufacturer, any scale drawings you may find that show rivets are simply a rough guesstimate at what they really looked like.

It was meant in good fun. If you've been around pilots and airplanes very long, you know there's a very dark sense of humor associated with the flying business. I've personally experienced an off-airport landing (in the middle of Hollywood, Florida) that totaled the airplane, so I have some personal first hand experience. Fortunately we walked away relatively unscathed.

I suppose that's possible. They're pretty small, so we might consider that. I'd love to do the whole set in 1/32, but it would be really expensive to print (on top of the expense for the 1/48 set), and our 1/32 sales are a tiny fraction of our 1/48 sales for a given subject. They'd need to pay for themselves, even if we didn't make any profit off of them, but it would probably take a long time for that to happen.

No, at least not for now. It's a gigantic project, and we just can't afford to do it in 1/32 for the amount of sales it's likely to generate.

I've read two different accounts that say the hangar was attacked and the Mriya destroyed. I don't get what's "political" about this. Is it any more "political" than discussing WWI or WWII or Korea or Vietnam or the Civil War? There is a right side and a wrong side, period. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out which is which either.

Ali of Aerocraft Models has an open canopy set available. https://aerocraftmodels.bigcartel.com/product/ov-10-bronco-openable-canopy-set-for-icm-kits Given that the country is at war and fighting for its life right now, I suspect commercial air traffic in and out of Ukraine is going to be minimal to nonexistent for the foreseeable future, I wouldn't count on getting anything from anybody there. Of course, some folks here seem to think that's a good thing....

Here's the skinny on the gear strut and speed brake placards we'll be including in the Phantom stencil set... The key numbers are just place holders until I get everything sorted out.

If the airplane ceases flying, by definition, it's a landing

Any landing you can walk away from....

Reliable, in the middle of a war? Unlikely.

Wow!! That is simply breathtaking!! Absolutely amazing!
