The problem is much more complex Harry?

Very good dioramas for the age group Wojtek. I hope the salt doen't start to corrode the models though!
Dirk, Tamiya still do the Jeep, AFAIK, under the 'SAS Jeep' title, as do Italeri. I believe the LRDG Chevvy truck has been re-released also. I built the latter many years ago, as a present for my late father, who was in LRDG during the War. Note that the Jeeps used weren't Bantams - they were mainly Willys MB, and some Fords.

Nice work!8)

I've just worked my way through this whole thread and all I can say is you have some real talent in your little city, are you by chance the instructor giving model making lessons and demonstrations. You also a dab hand at the photography my friend, you've taken some great pics.

 

[Wurger]

Thank you all and especially Vic for his very kind words. To be honest I work with youngsters as they always need to be adviced.But that is much caused by my family tradition and experience than diplomas or licences.

And now..."Antek" forever. An-2 biplane....

We used to have one where I lived in Sweden, huge bl**dy aircraft and slow! It always sounded like, I don't know and it looked like it was standing still in the air when flying....

Nice model Wojtek!

 

[Wurger]

Yep......it always sounds like an old harvester.The ASz-62IR engine of 1000HP makes a such noise that all animals and sometimes people got cover. Flying aboard you can admire the Earth beauty moving slowly behind the small circled windows.

Sweet Wojtek!!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Nice job though.

 

[Gnomey]

Nice one!

 

[Wurger]

THX guys. And diecast scale models of B-25.... these were really heavy..ufff.

 

[B-17engineer]

Wait Diecast? So they didn't make them then.

 

[Wurger]

No they didn't make them .But these were a part of the expo with a few WW2 uniforms.

 

[B-17engineer]

Ohhh that's pretty cool.

Ah! A diecast of the Mitchell II I photographed when it first arrived at Duxford in 1988! It was in natural metal then, and I was fortunate enough to be able to provide some info for a generic RAF scheme. Sadly, she left the UK for the 'States last August, when rochie and I saw her on finals to Duxford, about three days before she departed. The original pics of her are on the forum somewhere.
That An2 is a beaut, always liked that big old bird. Am I right in thinking it's the world's largest single-engined bi-plane? The last one I saw was when rochie and I were taking off from Brno, again last August.. It was parked outside the former HAS's at the end of the runway. Anybody know if there's a 1/48th kit available?
Very nice models and pics Wojtek my friend!

 

[Wurger]

Thank you Terry. The Czech firm Valom is going to release an An-2 series of 1/48 scale this year.

Here you are...

 

[Airframes]

That's great, thanks Wojtek!

 

[Wurger]

No problemo...

Here the next of the diecast Mitchells.
