Count me In - I've a few 1/48 candidates in the stash - Stormovlk, Su-2, Po-2, I-153, I-16, Yak-3 - I won't decide yet - I'll do one that no-one else does!

Ok , so a Soviet aircraft GB , what makes you think I would be interested?
Of course I’m in , got a good few in the stash and may even do more than one !
Not sure Tony TBH. I felt your name calling for some inexplicable reason. I do keep meaning to ask though, what's the 'yak' in your username mean???
In all seriousness, you've been very supportive since I started dabbling in wingy things. I do have one condition though given your penchant for Soviet planes.....you have to build the same kit as mean and make sure you're ahead of me in the build process, so I can follow what you do!
Glad to have you on board!
I found the thread I was referring to.
July-Dec 2016 SIG: The Mig 21
No you dont have to build 21 Migs. Just one Mig 21.
Sorry, I no longer participate in GB’s but I’ll follow with interest.
Rick no problem, I for one would welcome whatever advice and support you can provide!
Thanks for joining Dave. So that rules out the Yak-3 for you....sorry but it's the only one I have in the stash.
Thanks again all!

I have a 1-32 scale I-16 in the stash and a GB would be a good excuse to build my first plane for a few years, but not sure if I will be free of my other distractions by October. Can I pencil myself in maybe?
I guess the Spanish Civil War doesn't qualify as a time-frame,then?

No, I'm afraid the Spanish civil war falls into the same catagory as the Russian Japanese Border Wars, sort of a pre-war affair.
But I love an I-16 so hope you can join.

After careful consideration I've decided this was too experimental and will not be allowed.

! reckon that the Zvezda Sukhoi Su-2 will be the one - I've not seen it featured in many places - one of those unpopular models, even less popular now as it's made by Zvezda ( it's been in my stash for over 5 years! ). Russian land equivalent of the Avenger...............

Thanks Dave.....don't think I've heard of that.
..... me neither!
The avenger was more of a torpedo bomber Dave (I’ve got one for the carrier war GB)……not much call for that over land. The Su-2 seems more like the earlier Vindicator, only more effective……be good to see it built.
I was meaning in appearance - large radial engine, long canopy & a turret...................
Dave
I did wonder about land torpedos…….
