Milosz & Badger,

Thank you for the information, I would never have identified these otherwise.

Milosz, welcome to the site!

(Badger is also welcome, be he is an old hand now!)


Regards
Martin

Kinda clever ploy really. Give us 3 really useful bonus kits to go with a lemon of a main subject. When the main kit is great, give us lemon bonus kits.

I can see where you are coming from.

I dont understand why the with this strange WiG/Flyer they did not provide more "unusual" aircraft suh as some of the smaller Ekranoplans/WiGs or other wacky expermintals!

The Chopper and 2 Recon aircraft are a strange choice for the main subject!

thankfully its easier with the Luft'46 big plane and lots of little paperplanes, or a set of 4 big paper planes - and job done!

Similar with the Brits, one big V-bomber and 3-4 little brit experimentals, and everyone is also happy!

Hallo, Boys!
If somebody is not satisfied with any 1/144 AniGrand Bonus kits, I have an proposition. I would buy any your unwanted "lemon" Soviet/Russian kit for mutual agreed price. Please write on:
jura@hekttor.biz .

Thanks

Jura

I'll be keeping the bonus kits, it's the main kit I'll be dumping this time. Want to buy the lemon Bartini thingy?

That said, I wouldn't mind buying the Bison if I could offload the paper projects and failed prototypes it comes with :-)

Jura said...

Thank you for Bartini offer, but i need to buy the full set to have Mi 4 and Il 28. Then I will try to sell Bartini extra, too.
BTW, talking about Mil helis in 1/144 - what do you think about this garage project?

not being a big heli buff, but the Mi-8 on the Cz site looks nicely turned out!

Didnt one come up last week on ebay?
might be worth you haveing a look, some seller from Ukrain if i recall correctly!

The Mi-8 looks great. Is it a kit or a scratchbuild?

bluedonkey99 said...

think its a resin kit from ukrain.

there was one on ebay last week , well a Mi-8 anyhow.

Also, AirAlex had some russian helicoptor kits on his "for sale" page. Not sure if they are still there?

Jura said...

Maybe there is some Mi 8 form Ukaine, but that one is garage project fo somebody called "KaJuk", living in St.Petersburg, Rossia. It looks I will have some kits from him, if interested, write on jura@hekttor.biz. Price would be about 25 EUR.
He is preparing Mi 14, Mi 4, too.
On AirAlex I´ve found 1/100 Mi 8 only.
